Since the 70s, capitalism increasingly presented itself as a reality without alternatives. This reality, staged as a veil around of its real and contradictory character has been decomposed by the left-wing many times to imagine an after-work world. In the last years, the acceleration caused by technological development, even as it configures new forms of alienation, has proved to be the possibility of a transition to going beyond the capitalist system. But to take advantage of this, as Nick Srnicek suggests, a critical diagnosis of current economy that acknowledges its fundamental infrastructure (platforms) is needed.Downloads
