Postcapitalism and the city
<p><strong>CCCB, 7 October 2016: </strong>The idea of postcapitalism consists of two hypotheses, about the unique effects of information technology.</p>
<p>First, that information technology is preventing the normal adaptation process, whereby capitalism — as a complex system — reacts to crisis, to the exhaustion of old business models, to the low profitability of old businesses and old sectors.</p>
<p>Second, that information technology makes utopian socialism possible.</p>
<p>More precisely: information technology makes possible a transition towards relative abundance, through the rapid cheapening of some things, the automation of work, and through highly intelligent utilisation of capacity — of things, raw materials, energy and human services.</p>
