Zusammenfassung:In this analysis of the consequences of the new information technology for the capitalist political economy and the conict between capital and labour, Professor Dyer-Witheford aims to show ``[...] how the information age, far from transcending the historic conict between capital and its laboring subjects, constitutes the latest battleground in their encounter''. Adhering to the same line of argumentation and logical sequence that Marx originally followed in Capital, volume 1 features a section on commodities and money and a section on the process of capitalist production; volume 2 comprises sections on the capitalist reproduction and circulation processes; and volume 3 deals with relations of capitalist distribution and the road towards a classless society. Combining a communication theory perspective with a libertarian socialist or anarchist social and political philosophy, the author of this essay in social philosophy aims to trace the dimensions of what he loosely denes as a communicative theory of anarchism. The essay is supplemented by two appendices ``that further exemplify the union of socialism and communication as a praxis informed activity'': one on reinventing socialism and the relation between language, responsibility, and the philosophy of hope; and the second on the role that organized religion, and in particular liberation theology, can play in social transformation.
