Description

The Blockchain Socialist:

"This week I spoke to Jonathan Beller, a professor of Media Studies at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY with a forthcoming book “The World Computer: Derivative Conditions of Racial Capitalism.” He recently wrote “How We Short Capitalism – And Finance the Revolution” in CoinDesk. The article is really interesting in that it proposes we invest in “post-capitalist economic media” as a way to create alternatives to the one-dimensional expression of value in capitalism (financial value expressed in price) so that we can take power in the next inevitable recessions.

During the interview we talk about his new book coming next year, the differences between the failed internet revolution and the crypto revolution, how our economic media makes it awkward for leftist creators, and the work being done at the Economic Space Agency (ECSA), a think tank for exploring protocols for post-capitalist economic expression."
