Overview

"""Using its interdisciplinary approach, Informationalism is a major contribution to our understanding of the interaction of technology and its economic impact on contemporary life. In achieving this, it is one of the break-through scholarly works of the 21st Century. It educates about the dynamics of the gains-in-profits vs. the exploitation-of-surplus-labor in the production process within the current Age-of-Information management arrangement. In doing this, it also provides an historical analysis to compare the two distinct modes (management and production) in the systems of the past Industrial and the contemporary Age-of-Information structures. This is accompanied by an incisive critique of the surplus-labor exploitation mechanisms in both periods."" Dr. Charles S. J. White, American University, Washington, D.C."

Author Information

Dr. Jordan Naod is a consultant, lecturer and researcher in the fields of computer science, computation physics and industrial sociology. In this book, he introduces the formula, 'Triple Surplus Value (TSV)' to measure the manifestation of surplus labor wage in the production process within the contemporary Age of Information structure. Using the group of computer engineering organizations as a case study and over 40-years of Department of Labor's historical wage data, he applies his (TSV) formula to measure the degree of surplus labor values in the production process. In this study, he discovers how computer engineering organizations have continued to gain large profits by controlling labor wages in the production process, and he further demonstrates how these practices have caused a labor-wage disadvantage for workers in this field.
