Capitalism as a mode of production has many things in common with other modes of production and certain salient qualities that set it apart from other modes of production. In our current situation, the qualities unique to capitalism are being superceded (which is different from being replaced) by qualities unique to the information age, or whatever you want to call it: 1. value is increasingly extracted from peoples' information rather than their labor, 2. informational rather than industrial technologies are in the driver's seat, 3. commodity reification is no longer the most striking aspect of our social relations, etc. At what point do these new aspects of our current "mode of production" reach a critical mass? I assume that by 2140, "neoliberalism" will not have much currency as a concept. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalist_mode_of_production_(Marxist_theory) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalist_mode_of_production_...
