Big Tech and the Current Challenges Facing the Class Struggle

 

Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research launches its dossier no. 46, seeking to understand technological transformations and their social consequences for class struggle.

Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research dossier no. 46, Big Tech and the Current Challenges Facing the Class, constructs a collective analysis about the role of digital technologies and businesses in the context of contemporary capitalism, in which there is a permanent concern about the use of data for repression, control, and surveillance. 
 

Given that the largest corporations today are in the field of information technology, this debate is essential to understanding our current reality. The dossier analyses the transformations of contemporary capitalism and their implications for people’s struggles, digging deeper than discussions about digital security or competing narratives on social media and reflecting upon different perspectives with the aim of building a common understanding on this issue. With this in mind, the dossier explores the transformations in the world of work as well as natural resources, the connection of large corporations to the state (especially in the Global North), the dispute over technology in global politics, and the primary challenges facing the working class in this context.

Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research is an international, movement-driven institution that carries out empirically based research guided by political movements. We seek to bridge gaps in our knowledge about the political economy as well as social hierarchy that will facilitate the work of our political movements and engage in the ‘battle of ideas’ to fight against bourgeois ideology, which has swept through intellectual institutions from the academy to the media.
