The Class of the New by Richard Barbrook
Netizens, elancers, cognitarians, swarm-capitalists, hackers, produsumers,
knowledge workers, pro-ams... these are just a few of the monikers that have
been applied to the new social class emerging from the networked workplace.
In this short book, Richard Barbrook presents a collection of quotations from
authors who in different ways attempt to identify an innovative element within
society: 'the class of the new'. Announcing a new economic and social
paradigm,
this class constitutes a 'social prophecy' of the shape of work to come. From
Adam Smith's 'Philosophers' of the late 18th century, down to the 'Creative
Class' celebrated by sociologist Richard Florida today, the class of the new
represents the future of production within and beyond capitalism.
