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.

    "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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
