36C3 - From Managerial Feudalism to the Revolt of the Caring Classes
The 36th Chaos Communication Congress (36C3) took place in Leipzig, 27.-30.12.2019, and was the 2019 edition of the annual four-day conference on technology, society and utopia organised by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) and volunteers.
One apparent paradox of the digitisation of work is that while productivity in manufacturing is skyrocketing, productivity in caring professions (health, education) is actually declining – sparking a global wave of labour struggle. Existing economic paradigms blind us to understanding how economies have come to be organised. We need an entirely new discipline, based on a different set of values.
