an interesting article of F.H. Pitts and A.C. Dinerstein

“This paper critiques popular academic understandings of development towards a post-capitalist,
post-work society based around the automation of production and the provision of a basic income to
those displaced by its effects. By focusing on work and its escape as the central issue at stake in the
transition to a postcapitalist society, these accounts miss how, at one end, capitalist work is
preconditioned by a historically-specific set of antagonistic social relations of constrained social
reproduction, and, at the other, by the specific social forms assumed by the results of that work in
commodity exchange and the constituted form of the nation-state.”
