Trabalho e conhecimento: lições de clássicos para a análise do capitalismo contemporâneo
Keywords:
labor, work, knowledge, Adam Smith, Karl Marx, neoschumpeterian economicsAbstract
This article discusses the impact of the current technological revolution on the concept of labor and evaluates the emergence of the knowledge-based economy. Based on the seminal work of Adam Smith and Karl Marx, and on recent theoretical developments along the neoschumpeterian tradition, Offe’s argument about the loss of labor centrality is analyzed and an alternative interpretation to the repositioning of work is suggested. This interpretation is based on the concept of “collective worker” and its transformations, and synthesizes the relative increase of the intellectual work in the collective worker.
