1) Economic quantities can be changed in time precisely because money, as a so-called transcendental signifier of capital, has the quality of a pure quantity, whereby money is released from current acts of exchange and thus, as a monetary sign, accounts for the time accumulated in the commodity, which in ...

Die Inszenierung in Davos zeigte, wie in Zeiten des Ökologismus radikale Kritik und Opposition gegen die herrschenden Verhältnisse marginalisiert wird. Wie werden die linken Klimaaktivisten darauf reagieren?
Jahrelang sorgte das Welt-Economic-Forum in Davos für wenig Interesse. Das änderte sich im Zuge der globalisierungskritischen Bewegung Ende der 1990er Jahre. Mehrere Jahre ...
At first glance, it seems that Deleuze’s concept of structure involves a complex form of the so-called creorder, a term that appears at the forefront of the methodological findings of the economists Bichler/Nitzan. (Cf. Bichler/Nitzan 2009) If the structure is updated in each of its moments in processes, then Bichler/Nitzan ...

In the opinion of Georgios Stamatis, Marx, in presenting the law of the tendentious case of the general rate of profit, equates value and price, among other things, in order to disregard the effect of the so-called Wicksell effects (including the observation of the relationship between the rate of profit ...

Während hierzulande in der radikalen Linken viel über Repression geklagt wird, die Erfahrung eines Knastaufenthalts aber, von den Folgen der Aktionen gegen G20 in Hamburg abgesehen, eher eine Ausnahme ist, sieht sich die Bewegung der Gelben Westen einer fast beispiellosen Repression ausgesetzt. Zahlreiche Verletzte (Dutzende haben ihr Augenlicht durch Gummigeschosse ...

The flow of subjective labor and the flow of objective capital. At the point in time, more precisely, in the passage of time (which has extended over longer historical periods), in which per se contingent encounters (those of the flows of money capital and labour) have “taken hold” (Althusser), as ...

Kurze Einführung zum spekulativen Kapital. Wann immer ein professioneller Trader einen Trade beginnt, so versucht er, die involvierten Risiken zu bewerten. Prinzipiell kann man heute drei Strategien des derivativen Handels unterscheiden: Arbitrage, Hedging und Spekulation. Arbitrage intendiert die Realisierung eines möglichst risikolosen Gewinns durch ...

This is roughly where physics is at with what is now called quantum gravity theory in physics. In quantum gravity theory, space and time and all the laws of nature are not, as Einstein thought, a priori features of nature. They are emergent, metastable processes of indeterminate quantum fluctuations of ...
“We, and no one else.” – There is an overwhelming scene in Todd Haynes’ latest film, Dark Waters (2019), which shows how toxic chemicals used in the production of Teflon were spilled into the Ohio River. The lawyer, who went from being on the side of the multinationals to that ...
Quite in contrast to mechanics, which defines the concept of force as the result of mutually canceling forces in their relationship to each other, Marx also seems to have always been intent, in his critique of political economy, on breaking the beautiful appearance of the balance and stability of the ...
The heterodox positions of Elie Ayache and Suhail Malik on contemporary finance are often perceived in the haze of accelerationism, although not widely discussed. Let us first turn to the prosition of Suhail Malik. For us, the contingent price movements of the underlying assets/underlyings and the likewise contingent derivative pricing ...

Die Kämpfe in Frankreich gegen die „Reform der Rentenversicherung“ treten in eine entscheidende Phase. Zwar ist es nicht gelungen, die Arbeitsniederlegungen auszuweiten, der Traum vom „großen Streik“, der allgegenwärtige linke Wunsch nach einem Generalstreik, ja nach einem grundsätzlichen Umsturz sind und bleiben Utopie. Nach wie vor tragen die Hauptlast des ...
Adorno speaks of the “non-identical being the own identity of the thing against its identifications” (Adorno, Negative Dialectic: 164). The cognition of the non-identical identifies differently from the identifying thinking, it emphasizes to say what something is, while the identifying thinking acts up as representation of the something that now ...
It is easy to see today that in the course of implementing neo-liberal strategies, the state is being increasingly restricted in its function as the guarantor of social peace and compromise between the classes, while the various modes of operation of the social police are being intensified step by step. ...

Thirty years ago there were fifteen border walls around the world. Now there are seventy walls and over one billion national and international migrants. International migrants alone may even double in the next forty years due to global warming. It is not surprising that over the past two decades, we ...

I said before that no one has yet patented a Meaning Machine. While that’s true in the abstract, I want to talk about the two most common ways to hack around the problem. First is labor and second is scale.

I’ve been thinking about the old maxim “correlation is not causation.” Skeptics tend to push a strong interpretation of the maxim. The skeptics say significance doesn’t emanate from behavior; the phenomena of the world refuse to furnish their own meaning. Working scientists on the other hand tend to be more ...
Es ist heute leicht einzusehen, dass im Zuge der Implementierung neoliberaler Strategien der Staat in seiner Funktion als Gewährleistungsorgan des sozialen Friedens und des Kompromisses zwischen den Klassen immer weiter eingeschränkt wird, während die verschiedenen Funktionsweisen der sozialen Polizei Schritt für Schritt intensiviert werden. Es ist zu berücksichtigen, dass die ...
