The Urban Field : Capital and Governmentality in the Age of Techno-Monopoly Hardback

Part of the Urban Worlds series

Description

We live in an era of techno-monopoly power in which technocapitalism - through ubiquitous digital platforms - has colonized both the internet and key aspects of our everyday lives.

Cities and larger urban and metropolitan environments have provided a fertile ground for the rise and rapid growth of this power.

In The Urban Field, Moisio and Rossi reveal an urban monopoly capitalism supported by the “corporatized state”.

They critically examine the relationship between capital and the state, and the generation of an urban governmentality centred on the economization of knowledge and technology in four key sites: labour, human capital, startups and forms of life.

Moisio and Rossi contend that, ultimately, the urban field is a constitutively political construct that can be enacted in a different way, no longer as a value-extraction machine but as a collective endeavour aiming at redefining established modes of economic value creation.
