Mutation in economic value under cognitive capitalism: Some basic implications
Abstract : Cognitive capitalism as a new regime of capitalist accumulation shows a twofold aspect. On the one end, it follows dematerialization of production and increasing codification of intangibles, on the other end a second wave of dematerialization is taking place. Digital device threatens traditional technics of enforcement of intellectual property rights, but it also reveals the centrality and hegemony of intangibles of a second type, those which are not codified and can be captured through W 2.0. arrangements. The core of the new transformation is closely linked to intangibles of type 2. The true crisis of commoditization relies in the difficulty of their codification.
