The Real News PodcastHow Big Tech made Trump 2.0 w/Cory DoctorowThere are a lot of similarities between the 2016 and 2024 elections, but the media ecosystem we have today is fundamentally different from the ecosystem we had in 2015-2016, during the first stage of Donald Trump’s political rise and the MAGA-morphosis of the Republican party. The Twitter and Facebook of that time are long gone, as are many of the methods of digital resistance that people employed on those platforms during the first Trump administration. The power and visibility dynamics on multiplying digital platforms, from TikTok to Truth Social, have rearranged dramatically since then, the “public sphere” is way more splintered, and ou...

Zwischen Zwei Deckeln079 – „Der Allesfresser“ von Nancy Fraser
In dieser Episode bringen wir viele kapitalismuskritische Themen, die wir hier im Podcast bereits angesprochen haben, zusammen. Nancy Fraser schlägt in ihrem Buch nämlich einen großen Bogen:
„Der Allesfresser“ von Nancy Fraser untersucht die zerstörerischen Auswirkungen des Kapitalismus auf Gesellschaft, Umwelt und Demokratie. Den Kapitalismus charakterisiert Fraser als allesfressendes, umfassendes Gesellschaftssystem, welches seine eigenen Grundlagen und Funktionsbedingungen verschlingt. Als marxistisch orientierte Kapitalismuskritik analysiert das Buch diese Probleme nicht nur in Bezug auf die Sphäre der Arbeit und Produktion, sondern betont die Wichtigkeit von Grenzkämpfen zwischen anderen Sphären wie Reproduktion, Care-Arbeit, Ökologie und...

Zwischen Zwei Deckeln078 – "Der Code des Kapitals" von Katharina Pistor
In “Der Code des Kapitals” geht Katharina Pistor der Frage nach, wie Recht und Kapitalismus zusammenhängen. Dass letzterer nicht ohne ersteres kann, wurde bisher nicht umfangreich reflektiert. Kernpunkt bei der Herstellung von Kapital ist es, bisherige wirtschaftliche Güter mit besonderen rechtlichen Privilegien auszustatten. Das passiert nicht in formal-demokratischen Prozessen, sondern hoch spezialisierte Kanzleien produzieren diese neuen Kapitalsorten durch die Entwicklung neuer Rechtsformen.

Zwischen Zwei Deckeln"Chokepoint Capitalism" von Rebecca Giblin und Cory Doctorow
Mit ihrem Buch „Chokepoint Capitalism“ weisen Rebecca Giblin und Cory Doctorow auf eine Besonderheit des Plattformkapitalismus à la Amazon oder Google hin: Solche Plattformen sind bewusst darauf hinentwickelt, nicht nur Monopolist (also einziger Anbieter für ihre Kunden) zu sein, sondern gleichzeitig Monopsonist (also einziger Nachfrager für die Anbieter z. B. der Buchbranche). Auf diese Weise können sie in ihren Märkten sowohl aus den Anbietern von Produkten als auch aus den Kunden das meiste Geld herauspressen und sämtliche Renditen abschöpfen.

Amanda stellt uns das Buch „Todesalgorithmus“ von Roberto Simanowski vor, in dem der Autor provokante Fragen in Bezug auf unser heutiges und zukünftiges Verhältnis zur „künstlichen Intelligenz“ stellt.
Ausgehend vom Algorithmus in selbstfahrenden Autos, welcher entscheidet, wer oder was bei einem Unfall zu Schaden kommt, beleuchtet er verschiedene ethische Probleme: Von der Frage nach unseren ethischen Grundsätzen, deren Verallgemeinerung bis hin zur Frage, ob wir – als Menschheit – überhaupt ein gemeinsames Ziel haben.

Decoder with Nilay PatelPrivate equity bought out your doctor and bankrupted Toys”R”Us. Here’s why that matters.The idea behind private equity or PE is simple: a private equity firm gathers up a bunch of cash, raises some investor cash and takes on a lot of debt to buy various companies, often taking them off the public stock market. Then, they usually install new management and embark on aggressive cost cutting and turnaround programs – mostly because they have to pay down all that debt pretty fast. Then, the company can be sold or taken public again for a hefty profit. But don’t worry—if it doesn’t work out, the PE firms are extracting fees at every...
