SPERI Presents… podcast episode on technocapitalism with Sami Moisio & Ugo Rossi
A new podcast episode is out where Sami Moisio, Ugo Rossi and Beth Perry join Remi Edwards to discuss the relationship between the urban field and techno-capitalism, inequalities between the creative class and casual workers in the knowledge economy, and the relationship between the startup economy and cities.
In this new episode of SPERI Presents…: New Thinking in Political Economy, Remi Edwards welcomes Prof. Sami Moisio (University of Helsinki), Prof. Ugo Rossi (Gran Sasso Science Institute University) and Prof. Beth Perry (University of Sheffield) to unpack Sami’s and Ugo’s new book: The Urban Field: Capital and Governmentality in the Age of Techno-Monopoly.
How have states evolved in tandem with the spread of techno-monopoly? Why do states and cities increasingly behave like startups? Is social polarisation a product of the startup economy or is it a necessary precondition?
