Carchedi and social classes in the age of algorithms

This article provides an in-depth analysis of Guglielmo Carchedi's thought, focusing on his unique method of reconstructing production relations through levels of abstraction. The text deconstructs traditional sociological divisions, introducing the reader to the world of algorithmic management and automated surveillance. The author explains how contemporary technology is redefining the role of the new middle class, balancing between the functions of capital and collective labor. The analysis also addresses the crucial distinction between legal and economic ownership in corporate structures and the impact of global capital on processes of proletarianization. This is essential reading for those seeking to understand how the fundamental logic of the relationship between labor and capital is evolving in the age of digital transformation.
