Douglas Rushkoff teaching online course: Life Incorporated
Our friend and guest blogger alum, Douglas Rushkoff is teaching an online course, Life Incorporated, through the MaybeLogic Academy beginning January 12, for six weeks. “Corporatized: An Alternative To Corporatism & BeyondStudents” will get a working draft of book chapters (to be published in June by RandomHouse US and UK) as well as six weeks of discussion and interrogation of the issues within and beyond them. I’ll be doing some live video lectures, as well, and inviting participants to help devise ways of restoring bottom-up commerce and social exchange to a world that seems incapable of abandoning its faulty, top-down, disconnected way of extracting value from people.
But the bulk of the exploration will be history, economics and social theory: How did corporatism become the dominant cultural ideology and operating system, who did it benefit, how did we internalize it, and what keeps it running?
