@EticLone1492 Labor-power can contest its own value, unlike any other commodity. It can negotiate how much economic value is given for its use-value and contest how much use-value it gives for its economic value. This is, btw, why value is social and can't be reduced to flows of energy.

[Jan Overwijk @jlowijk]

New!🎉

Only labor-power produces economic value, even though, economically, it's just another commodity, and ecologically, it's just another source of energy. What makes it special? Its unique capacity to refuse the transition from ecology to economy.

Now open access: "The Eco-Marxist Problematic: Value Between Economy and Ecology" in Symploke. How does ecological stuff become economic value? I survey various approaches: environmental and ecological economics, ecofeminist Marxism and value-form Theory.

🚨Cybernetic Capitalism is now out!🚨

It offers a social philosophy for the current age, detailing the cybernetic logic of neoliberal capitalism and radical-right reaction.

[Jan Overwijk @jlowijk]

It presents a new synthesis of Luhmann's systems theory and Frankfurt School style critical theory to think through the paradoxes of the present--between closure and openness, technics and politics, rationalism and irrationalism. Scandalous, I know. Curious to hear your thoughts!

@TimChristiaens5 Thanks, Tim!
