About

Digital capital is a critical concept within political economy that examines the power dynamics and class relations arising from the ownership and control of digital means of production. It investigates the forms of exploitation and domination embedded within the digital economy, particularly focusing on the structural relationship between those who own or organize digital infrastructure and those who perform digital labor. Characterized by the concentration of control over digital assets and platforms, its study is significant for understanding contemporary forms of inequality, labor dynamics, and governance in the digital age.
