Exploitation of the self in community-based software production: Workers' freedoms or firm foundations? In this article, Phoebe Moore and Paul A.

No measure for culture? Value in the new economy - Analysing articulations of the value of investment in culture and the arts through a critical discourse analysis and the lens of autonomist Marxism, this paper argues that the UK government's policy discourses on culture and the arts are increasingly concerned with using culture to form the social in the image of capital.

Organisation and labour struggle - The hacker movement as a continuation of labour struggle - Examining the ways in which capital exploits the volunteer labour of free software developers, this article argues that there is historical continuity between hackers and labour struggle.

New economies of production? The ethical economy: Towards a post-capitalist theory of value - Web 2.0, prosumerism, P2P and the host of local autonomous economies that are emerging have put 'social production' on the social sciences agenda. This article argues that they are the embryonic expression of a new, ethical economy that moves according to a particular post-capitalist value logic.
