Another succinct view from roughly the same point in history that I return to every now and then is Deleuze's Postscript. "It’s a capitalism of higher-order production. It no longer buys raw materials and no longer sells the finished products: it buys the finished products or assembles parts. What it wants to sell is services and what it wants to buy is stocks. This is no longer a capitalism for production but for the product, which is to say, for being sold or marketed." 'The conquests of the market are made by grabbing control and no longer by disciplinary training, by fixing the exchange rate much more than by lowering costs, by transformation of the product more than by specialization of production. Corruption thereby gains a new power. Marketing has become the center or the “soul” of the corporation. We are taught that corporations have a soul, which is the most terrifying news in the world. The operation of markets is now the instrument of social control and forms the impudent breed of our masters.' "There is no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons." https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/gilles-deleuze-postscript-on-the-societies-of-control https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/gilles-deleuze-posts...
