Workplace compensation has become an industry unto itself. What are
its relations of production and role in contemporary capitalism? In
Lost-Time Injury Rates Rodrigo Finkelstein examines the
information-intensive operations of recording and processing
work-related accidents, diseases and fatalities carried out by
Workers' Compensation Systems. Situated within the field of
political economy of information, this critique contributes to the
understanding of how injury rates service a specific sector of the
economy by constructing lost labour power for sale. Finkelstein
convincingly argues that injury rates must be seen as grounded in
the capitalist mode of production, and that they constitute a
historical social relation that, by taking the semblance of
inductive indicators, conceal specific capitalist relations that
bring about the exchange and distribution of lost labour power
among capitalists and wage labourers.
