Digitalized Finance
An innovative study of the relationship between the development of Information and Communication Technologies and the global financialization of economies.
China in Contemporary Capitalism
From a unique Global South Political Economy perspective, this volume showcases outstanding works on the economic, social, and political development of China. It covers topics such as the Chinese development model, the evolution of social classes, the country's projection on the global stage, and the recent technological dispute with the United States. It does so by avoiding the trap (particularly perilous in the case of China) of isolating the economy from politics. The authors demonstrate that without understanding the contradictory movements of these two dimensions in their historical evolution, it is impossible to grasp contemporary China. Contributors are: Esther Majerowicz, Carlos Aguiar de Medeiros, Isabela Nogueira, Edemilson Paraná, Valéria Lopes Ribeiro and Hao Qi.
Digitalized Finance: Financial Capitalism and Informational Revolution
In Digitalized Finance, Edemilson Paraná investigates the relationship between the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the process of financialization of economies on a global scale, particularly in Brazil. The book explains the influence of ICT in the emergence and consolidation, especially from the 1980s, of new forms of operation and management of the globalized financial system, highly connected, operated in “real time” with intensive use of technological features, and how these advances are related with the economic and social changes in question. It also describes how contemporary capital markets work, where the search for earnings is leveraged by sophisticated mathematical models, robots and automated trading software that seek financial gains in the milliseconds scale.
Handbook on the Politics and Governance of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence
Drawing on the theoretical debates, practical applications, and sectoral approaches in the field, this ground-breaking Handbook unpacks the political and regulatory developments in AI and big data governance. Covering the political implications of big data and AI on international relations, as well as emerging initiatives for legal regulation, it provides an accessible overview of ongoing data science discourses in politics, law and governance. This title contains one or more Open Access chapters.
Popular Sovereignty in a Digital Age
In the evolution of global capitalism and geopolitics, digitalization presents a new and yet unresolved chapter. In the lead up to digitalization, neoliberalism weakened the welfare states of the global North and the developmental states of the global South where they existed. Neoliberalism also disorganized working classes, as Left parties and labor organization declined across the globe. Into this deregulated and unchecked context, digitalization proceeded, and technology companies inserted themselves into multiple sectors, making use of first mover advantage and monopolistic practices to drive out smaller and less advanced firms. We can now characterize a landscape in which states have be...
The Desire of Psychoanalysis
The Desire of Psychoanalysis proposes that recognizing how certain theoretical and institutional problems in Lacanian psychoanalysis are grounded in the historical conditions of Lacan’s own thinking might allow us to overcome these impasses. In order to accomplish this, Gabriel Tupinambá analyzes the socioeconomic practices that underlie the current institutional existence of the Lacanian community—its political position as well as its institutional history—in relation to theoretical production. By focusing on the underlying dynamic that binds clinical practice, theoretical work, and institutional security in Lacanian psychoanalysis today, Tupinambá is able to locate sites for conceptual innovation that have been ignored by the discipline, such as the understanding of the role of money in clinical practice, the place of analysands in the transformation of psychoanalytic theory, and ideological dead-ends that have become common sense in the Lacanian field. The Desire of Psychoanalysis thus suggests ways of opening up psychoanalysis to new concepts and clinical practices and calls for a transformation of how psychoanalysis is understood as an institution.
Arquitetura de arestas
Nesse livro, o leitor encontrará uma experiência de pensamento que se interroga pelo impacto de um militante entregando panfletos a tarde pode ter para trabalhadoras e trabalhadores apressados, ao mesmo tempo em que mobiliza a teoria dos nós para dar conta da articulação entre lutas que se orientam pela conquista do Estado, pela crítica do valor e pela problematização dos modos de reprodução material da opressão presentes nas múltiplas dimensões da cultura. Esse desafio que consiste na passagem constante de níveis é o eixo real da indagação de um livro que traz as marcas das inquietações de nosso tempo. – Vladimir Safatle, professor de Filosofia da Universidade de São P...
Portugal, Paraíso das Criptomoedas
Em Portugal, Paraíso das Criptomoedas, à história do dinheiro digital – desde que foi inventado e pela primeira vez transacionado (em troca de piza) –, os autores juntam as histórias dos primeiros investidores portugueses, incluindo a de um adolescente que pagou a licenciatura e do mestrado em Engenharia Informática com as bitcoins que ganhou a jogar RunScape ou dos fundadores da primeira corretora nacional de criptomoedas, a CriptoLoja. E demonstram – recorrendo a conversas com políticos e outros especialistas – como, graças ao seu deficiente enquadramento fiscal, Portugal tem sido um autêntico paraíso das criptomoedas, em que é possível transacionar milhões sem pagar impostos ou, sequer, declarar os ganhos às Finanças. Porém, neste paraíso podem surgir tempestades a qualquer momento, como a do “criptoinverno” de 2022. Disso mesmo nos dá conta esta profunda investigação dos premiados jornalistas Fábio Monteiro e Inês Rocha, que aqui reúnem tudo o que se deve saber para começar a investir – com cautela – no dinheiro digital.

Assetization
How the asset—anything that can be controlled, traded, and capitalized as a revenue stream—has become the primary basis of technoscientific capitalism. In this book, scholars from a range of disciplines argue that the asset—meaning anything that can be controlled, traded, and capitalized as a revenue stream—has become the primary basis of technoscientific capitalism. An asset can be an object or an experience, a sum of money or a life form, a patent or a bodily function. A process of assetization prevails, imposing investment and return as the key rationale, and overtaking commodification and its speculative logic. Although assets can be bought and sold, the point is to get a durable...
