How do dynamics of labor–capital conflict affect and play out in the tech industry? Are tech workers able to recompose and exercise power to resist market-led restructuring, and if so, how? Sidney Rothstein’s new book Recoding Power (2022) does an excellent job at putting forward an analytical scaffolding to make sense of the dynamics of construction and exercise of workers’ power in twenty-first-century capitalism, answering questions that are as timely to the current historical phase as they are universal in their reach—as old as class struggle and capitalism itself.

Abstract
How do dynamics of labor–capital conflict affect and play out in the tech industry? Are tech workers able to recompose and exercise power to resist market-led restructuring, and if so, how? Sidney Rothstein’s new book Recoding Power (2022) does an excellent job at putting forward an analytical scaffolding to make sense of the dynamics of construction and exercise of workers’ power in twenty-first-century capitalism, answering questions that are as timely to the current historical phase as they are universal in their reach—as old as class struggle and capitalism itself.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
