Computational Capital and the New Coordinating Function of the Market
Category : Capitalism, value and production systemsAdvanced artificial intelligence does not intervene in capitalism merely as a technology of automation, but as an infrastructure of coordination. Its significance is not measured solely by the replacement of tasks, the productivity of individual processes, or the compression of operating costs. The most relevant point concerns the transformation of the way in which the…

Opaque value and algorithmic decision-making in the transformation of the global economy
Category : Capitalism, value and production systemsThe economy mediated by artificial intelligence is structurally redefining the very concept of value, affecting the decision-making mechanisms that regulate markets and institutions. The classical categories through which political economy has interpreted value creation, labor, scarcity, utility and exchange presupposed an observable relationship between human activities, resources and economic outcomes. In the current phase of…

Calculated prices and implicit coordination in the algorithmic economy
Category : Capitalism, value and production systemsThe contemporary economy is witnessing a profound transformation in the role of price as a coordination mechanism. For a long time, price represented an emergent signal, the result of diffuse interactions among actors endowed with partial information and divergent expectations. Uncertainty was not an anomaly, but the very condition that made the market a process…

Computational asymmetries and the redistribution of power in the algorithmic economy
Category : Capitalism, value and production systemsIn contemporary capitalism, economic power is progressively shifting from the visible sphere of ownership and exchange toward less immediately observable domains, linked to the capacity to model complex decision-making processes. Advanced artificial intelligence acts as a systemic infrastructure that enables the governance of information flows, the anticipation of behavior and the reduction of uncertainty on…

Computational hierarchies and the reconfiguration of global economic power
Category : Capitalism, value and production systemsAdvanced artificial intelligence is structurally transforming the architecture of the contemporary economy, affecting the relationships between markets, institutions and decision-making power. The competitive paradigm that characterized industrial and financial capitalism, based on a relatively horizontal plane of actors coordinated by prices and formal rules, is gradually giving way to a more vertical configuration. In this…

Cognitive hegemony and decision-making infrastructures in the economy of artificial intelligence
Category : Capitalism, value and production systemsAdvanced artificial intelligence today operates as a systemic infrastructure that simultaneously reconfigures the relationships between economy, institutions and power. It is not a simple technological evolution, but a structural shift in the decision-making center of gravity. The ability to orient cognitive processes, evaluation criteria and interpretative frameworks becomes a primary strategic resource, comparable to financial…

Algorithmic efficiency and the contraction of economic possibilities
Category : Capitalism, value and production systemsArtificial intelligence is assuming a structural role in advanced economic systems, no longer merely as a tool of optimization, but as a cognitive infrastructure that systematically orients decisions. In many sectors, from industry to finance, from logistics to services, economic action is increasingly mediated by predictive models that select options, define priorities and reduce operational…

Informational accumulation and the transformation of capital in the algorithmic economy
Category : Capitalism, value and production systemsThe contemporary economy is undergoing a structural transformation in the nature of capital and in the mechanisms of its accumulation. In data intensive economic systems, artificial intelligence operates as an enabling infrastructure of a new form of economic power, less visible but more persistent. Capital no longer grows solely through the expansion of productive capacity…

Platform infrastructures and systemic concentration in digital capitalism
Category : Capitalism, value and production systemsIn advanced capitalism, platforms have assumed a function that goes far beyond technological intermediation. They operate as essential economic infrastructures, through which informational, financial and decision making flows pass, structuring entire markets. This transformation is not episodic, but systemic. Like railway networks in the nineteenth century or major utilities in the twentieth century, digital platforms…

Algorithmic forecasting and the transformation of market structures in the global economy
Category : Capitalism, value and production systemsThe evolution of artificial intelligence is exerting a systemic impact on the functioning of markets, altering the role of uncertainty, signals and economic decision-making. For much of the history of modern capitalism, markets have been interpreted as spaces characterized by imperfect information, background noise and continuous adjustments. Prices, expectations and strategies emerged from discovery processes…

Structural fractures and adaptive continuities in the capitalism of automation
Category : Capitalism, value and production systemsArtificial intelligence and advanced automation are affecting the functioning of capitalism more deeply than previous technological waves. This is not merely an increase in productivity or a change in industrial processes, but a transformation that affects the cognitive and organizational foundations of accumulation. The economic system continues to operate according to logics of concentration, rent…
