A speculative exploration of value, emphasizing practical
experimentation in its future forms How can we begin to envision a
postcapitalist economy without first engineering a radically new
concept of value? And with a renewed sense of how and what we
collectively value, what would the transition to new social forms
look like? According to Brian Massumi, it is time to reclaim value
from the capitalist market and the neoliberal reduction of life to
"human capital." It is time to occupy surplus-value for a
postcapitalist future. 99 Theses on the Revaluation of Value is
both a theoretical and practical manifesto. Massumi reexamines
ideas about money, exchange, and finance, with special attention to
how what we value in experience for quality is economically
translated into quantity. He proposes new conceptual tools for
understanding value in directly qualitative terms, speculating on
how this revaluation of value might practically form the basis of
an alter-economy. A promising path, he suggests, might involve
emerging blockchain technologies beyond bitcoin. But these must be
uprooted from their libertarian origins and redesigned to serve not
individual choice but collective creativity, not calculations of
self-interest but collaborative speculations on the future to be
shared. It is necessary to grasp the specificity of our
contemporary neoliberal condition and the ultimately destructive
forms of power it mobilizes to better resist their claim on the
future. 99 Theses on the Revaluation of Value is written to
galvanize a radical redefinition of value for a livable
postcapitalist future.
