Class Politics in the Information AgeUniversity of Illinois Press, 2000 - 229 стор. In this shocking analysis of the rise of the professional class in America, Donald Clark Hodges reveals that under cover of mature capitalism, the United States has taken on the characteristics of two of its avowed political nemeses: socialism and fascism. Class Politics in the Information Age uncovers the origins, development, aims, means, and moral and political hypocrisy of the new class of professionals. In line with a broad consensus that expertise has replaced capital as the decisive asset in the informational economy, Hodges asserts that professionals have replaced capitalists as the premier exploiting class. The dictatorship of the proletariat predicted by Marx is, in America, a dictatorship of experts. Hodges argues that the newly won preeminence of the professional class -- which includes scientists, engineers, managers, and bureaucrats -- constitutes a revolution, not a further stage, evolution, or metamorphosis of capitalism. Hodges systematically demonstrates that defining the U.S. economy on the basis of private ownership of capital goods is now obsolete, since profits are no longer the principal source of surplus income. Rather, that surplus is concealed in the burgeoning wages of the professional class. Class Politics in the Information Age redefines class struggle, demonstrating how the professional class is remaking the social structure in the service of its own interests. In this changed world, capitalists are no longer labor's fundamental enemy, socialism no longer means the abolition of exploitation, the United States is fascist (though a fascism without fascists), and democracy no longer serves the cause of political liberation. |
