Three Minute Theory brings you complex theoretical ideas explained simply in three minute videos. Great for graduate students and academics looking to explore new theoretical concepts!
Three Minute Theory: What is Immaterial Labor?
Do you ever feel like you put more work into your job than what you get paid for? What does schooling at home, scrolling through social media, and grocery delivery have in common?
All of these things relate to what's called, Immaterial Labor!
Learn about this theoretical concept and more with this new video from Three Minute Theory.
We'd love to hear from you in the comments! Tell us: Where do you see immaterial labor? In your own job? The jobs of your friends or family? Do you think a cost can or should be defined for this largely unseen or less obvious work?
---
This episode of Three Minute Theory uses Maurizio Lazzarato's theory of "immaterial labor" to think about different forms of work and the true cost of that work in today's society. We specifically look at the labor of a gig or intermittent worker and consider both the precariousness and the expected, but unpaid labor, embedded in these jobs. Then, we examine the presence of immaterial labor in traditional professions. We argue that immaterial labor is a constant in control societies, but that its effects and presence have been exacerbated amongst the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020.

Theory isn't just for reading, it can also be for sense-making...Even when things don't quite make sense. That's why we're coming back with more Three Minute Theory. Our short videos explain dense academic theory in easy to understand ways and describe how they are connected to our everyday lives. Coming soon, we'll be applying some of the academic theories you may have read about in school to ...

I think i had a bit of a seizure when this idiot said "("neo")liberalism is when the state subsidizes private businesses.
What is good for M&M Enterprises is good for America.
Awful music. No music needed.
Hi! Brilliant! Does anyone know where I can contact the creators!
the bane of my existence
Excellent. This fits with the insights of complexity science. At a philosophical level, we can go from understanding "freedom" as being about individuals' will to understanding freedom as the freedom to flourish in relationship with others.
This is great. Thanks. But, I can't imagine what you think the "music" adds. It's just a distraction to me. The sound of your voice is all I want to hear.
Brilliant thanks! ⚡ #Yes #and #life
What is neo-liberalism? The final stage of capitalism before corporate fascism. The future is gonna be great!
"Many of the tenets of liberalism were enacted in the name of equality, meaning that free-market policies were supposed to allow people an equal chance onto the marketplace. Under neoliberalism, however, the free market loses its ties to democratic ideals." No, the "free market" was never about "democratic ideals." The only market the majority of us have access to as *sellers* is the labor market, and that's still plenty "democratic" since most of us can sell our labor for wages. The minority that sells products instead gets smaller every day and requires government subsidies now just to survive. And that is the reason for neoliberalism: without it, capitalism would collapse. A good presentation over all, I thought.
neoliberalism is a safe word for fascism
It’s not very good form of fascism if it always interracial marriage.
@@xeganxerxes4319 fascism is about hierarchies and social darwinistic "wolf eat wolf" mindset, racial purity crap is just one of few unnecessary elements of it. Even mussolini said that race is a feeling, not a fact. Ethnicity > race.
@@Likorys888 Race is a core element of tribalism, we’ve just become detached from it due to globalism.
The starting point to reading a map is your position
Teachers unions and over stepping school boards are deconstructing and reconstructing public schools in their own image. And the results are horrible for our students.
I am still waiting to see how "neoliberalism" is a defined political philosophy rather than just a generic term to describe various undesirable consequences of different ways of balancing the benefits of a free market with the benefits of government intervention .
Es gibt nichts zu tun = There is nothing to do.
Arguing about your “-isms” prove to me that you are brainwashed ideological people. No “-ism” should now or ever be “the correct way”, there simply is no such thing. The only question to ask is: Does it work at this moment? If it works, continue and improve. If it doesn’t, correct/change/discard. It’s that simple. Any change can be whole or in part, mix and match if you like, or be something entirely different a-la the China model. Your IDEOLOGY DOESN’T MATTER, consistent, peaceful, fairly achieved RESULTS do.
cannot concentrate with the background music going sheesh
Neo Marxist video, poorly explained and heavy editorialized. Exact opposite, woke and neo marxist have penetrated the school system.
There is no difference in Communist China or the U$, all workers are now Slaves to a one party corporate state
Intra-act, this is an amazing concept!
That's not neoliberalism.
"White menhould be allowed to plunder, rape and take everything to their likings" in short that is neoliberaism.
The Chinese government made covid-19. We need to send the Chinese government the bill for the destruction they made.
Neo-liberalism in the USA is merely a public relations campaign to dupe workers into supporting programs that squeeze resources out of their communities.
I don't buy it. It's just a term to describe people who succeed because they work hard, save hard, invest, and they love competition because it brings the best out in them. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. Those who are anti so called neo liberalism are really losers - they don't want to work for their wealth, they want it given to them. They don't like competition because it's tough, and they are cry babies. They are jealous of people who are successful but secretly wish they could be like them. Boo hoo.
Jeff bezos, Elon musk came from rich families and didn’t have the struggles of being poor or having trouble with education. And those at the top like them hurt those that try to grow and want to be like them, covid lockdowns, shady Wall Street practices, Amazon grossed 20 billion during the lockdowns. They also got bailouts from family members to keep their businesses afloat so not so hard work, hard work to find a method yes but not so much to expand on it
For all the leftists out there who are hoping the Rhisome is a metaphor for communism or an-synd or whatever your pose is... it's not. In fact, it is a post-mortum on the communist project, politically and philosophically. So when D+G advocate schizophrenia as the political solution to capitalism, they may or may not be mocking you, entirely or in part. Also "nomadology" is a tribute to Georges Dumezil, and a really good one imo.
Disliked the distracting backing track. Otherwise thanks for the video.
How does Neo-Liberalism differ from Classical Liberalism?
Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith has been in the public domain for some time and can be downloaded from Project Gutenberg and searched. The printed book can cost you $15 and take a lot of effort to search. Has Smith's "Invisible Hand" been used as a propaganda tool for decades since most people would never read WoN? Smith used the word 'invisible' six times but only once as "invisible hand". It is really curious that we hear about the 'invisible hand' so much. Smith used the word 'education' EIGHTY(80) TIMES. We are not told about that. Search for "and account" and you will find multiple instances of "read, write, and account", not "read, write and arithmetic". Double entry accounting was more than 300 years old when Smith wrote Wealth of Nations, but 50% of Brits were illiterate and public schools did not exist in 1776. The United States could have made accounting/finance mandatory in the schools since Sputnik. Wouldn't that have helped everyone best serve their own self interest? But we do not hear the people who propagandize us about the "invisible hand" advocating mandatory accounting because that might make their invisible rip-offs more difficult. Adam Smith never used the word 'depreciation' in WoN. He mentioned paper money being depreciated one time. Marx wrote about 'depreciation' 35 times in Das Kapital, sometimes regarding the depreciation of machines and sometimes of money. Marx even mentioned Adam Smith 130 times though not much about education. Consumers did not buy automobiles, air conditioners, televisions and microwave ovens before 1885. Marx died in 1883. But it's OK! Our brilliant economists do not talk about the depreciation of under engineered consumer trash today either. Every time you buy a replacement the purchase is added to GDP. What about NDP? Oh sorry, when do you ever hear an economist explain NDP? That's OK too, they only depreciate the Capital Goods and ignore the depreciation of consumer junk anyway. Wealth of Nations has probably been in the public domain for a very long time but cheap computing did not make it available in Project Gutenberg until 3/17/2001. Milton Friedman died in 2006. Was Friedman giving us the straight dope on economics or treating us like a bunch of dopes for decades?
The beginning of a map is that "you are here" point. Of course, that's a subjective as it can get.
the single most destructive ideology in the modern world
Shareholder economics is bound to fail, it has destroyed the human civilizational spirit and has induced degenerate narcissist ideals.
Thank you for your informative, clear, concise explanation Stacey Kerr, Erin Adams, & Beth Pittard.
Man, why did we let things get this bad? And what can actually be done to properly ensure a healthy market AND a public sector?
I don't think you understand ginger.

If u understand these videos better than books 📚 it may speak to learning methods that best suit u and that is a very big deal. This video profoundly mis states the arguments. Let us use their example education. For many blacks in the inner city, and I deliberately use blacks because they are disproportionately affected, they attend absolutely awful schools. In some instances 80 or 90% of the kids cannot read a right anywhere near grade level and this sets them up for a life of hardship. For decades Republicans would say give these kids a voucher and let them go to any school they want to, in whatever neighbourhood they so choose. Accordingly, the bad schools will have less students and fail and go out of business as they should and the better schools will thrive. Instead, the government props up these failing schools that continue to fail the kids who don't get vouchers by and large and they stay in these failed communities perpetuating poverty generation after generation. Without a solid education for smart kids and the not-so-smart kids fail equally. In those instances where kids had vouchers they have done much better than their counterparts who hadn't and this is measured by objective academic testing. I leave it to you to decide on which side of the argument you are on. By and large government doesn't excel at anything because there's no consequences . U r not going out of business and pretty much people don't care. Juxtapose that with a private business where you may go out of business and people r incentivized to perform.
There is no such thing as a free market anymore .
This is extraordinarily well done. Thank you for taking the time and effort to extrapolate a complex argument into a very cogent three minutes. Brother Ali, in his song “Uncle Sam Goddamn” put it thusly: Custom made To consume the noose Keep saying we're free But we're all just loose
Question binaries - cause vs effect
People tend to conflate free market with private enterprise. Free market is a condition where private enterprise and consumers can operate without interference from the government. It is a condition marked by the absence of coercion. Just because a private enterprise exists doesn't mean it is free market. If a private enterprise works in partnership with the government and participates in coercive government policies, (eg.. Obamacare, Covid lockdowns, war supplies) it's claim to any free market status is nullified. Therefore, the definition of neoliberalism given in this video where it says the free market controls government policy is falsely pejorative of the free market.
But those companies can pay off the government and influence the decision making in government to benefit themselves through funding campaigns and giving them money
Neo-Liberalism more like Neo-Cuckism.
But it was successful, and gradually abolishing outdated religions like islam. Just google about demographic transition, and know, that islamic world will be aging and depopulating like japan. So abolish all traditions and retarded collectivism, and enjoy wealth and individualism.
@@Cheretruck_ but as a society we rely on asia for our cheap goods? There’s no been a massive industry in Europe and america since the 90s and what’s there is military industry which also relys on Asia for small parts and a lot of the f-35 program parts came from China without the government knowing until a month after the completion of the project which went out of date after the Ukraine war

A quicker way to put it... Neoliberalism is state sponsored organized crime.
522k views 7.5k subs 5.7k likes. Now I see why TH-cam removed the dislike count, so we can't laugh at the (still obvious) biased content. Politics are multilayered, you can be socially left or right and economically left or right, theyre not mutually exclusive. I personally think the way to promote growth is through social libertarianism and economic unionism. This supports trade and equalizes the pay battlefield among the working class and elite while providing free speech, pro self expression ideologies and more accepting societies of people from all walks of life. But thats just my take. The politic vocabulary has become an enormous stretch as liberal used to be quite synonymous with libertarian, this is due to governments using socially political facades wherein their rule only brings forth economic movement. Everyone who isnt an asshat is for social freedom, it might not be what a lot of generations are ready for, but its the future and we should be more open minded about it. So everyone can go ahead and claim thats their motive when in reality, they will not lift a finger on social politics until the people make a stand. If you dont support it youre likely racist, fascist or for dictatorships/tsar/tzarism, this includes all political parties. Exclusive nationalist parties are pro social seperatism and essentially racist. Thats just how it is. Any other party cares about social freedom, so if you base your vote between 2 major parties based on social freedom, you're voting wrong. Vote for your economic stance.
This explanation doesn't appear to be neutral
Most of the examples you cite are form well after the late 1970's. I think you are using chance in economic outcomes like wage growth and economic inequality as a proxy for neoliberalism to support the idea that neoliberalism created these economic outcomes. I would submit it was the reverse, the economic outcomes created neoliberalism as a justification for the economic outcomes that economic *policy* promoted by right-wing interests produced.
The definition in this video is way to ideological, and just tackles the problems of the system, not the system itself; It doesn't comprehend the actual political, social, and economical changes that the world (from early to mid 1800's) have had. A more accurate definition would be: Neoliberalism is the reform of classical liberalism in which Globalization, Democracy, Domestic Economy, Capitalism, and Social Welfare are incorporated, and or developed.
