More Capital

By Joerg Fritsch

More Capital reimagines classical political economy for the algorithmic age. Building on Marx's critique of value, this book introduces a rigorous tripartite framework that accounts for the digital, financial, and ecological transformations of twenty-first-century capitalism. Value is no longer determined solely by production labor, but by harmonized human time: the fusion of socially necessary labor time (SNLT), socially necessary realization time (SNRT), and a systemic impact multiplier (ei).

Through mathematical modeling, the text decodes how platform rent, attention scalping, algorithmic pricing, and derivatives extract and modulate value without creating it. Case studies span AI-generated content, crypto volatility, gig labor, and ecological externalities, revealing how circulation appears to generate wealth while production stagnates.

More Capital offers scholars, economists, and technologists a new diagnostic toolkit ultimately illuminating the world we live in: a reality where we no longer just sell our labor to survive, but rent our time, data, and attention to the algorithm.
