其他摘要：This essay discusses the role of information and knowledge throughout the development
of the capitalist mode of production, especially nowadays, when some terms become popular
such as information and knowledge society, knowledge economy, intellectual capital and human
capital. Our starting point is the presentation of some foundations of dialectical materialism, a
precursor philosophy to investigate the relationships between capital and knowledge. Drawing on Marxist ideas and going beyond in this obscure issue, this paper also highlights some theories of
contemporary authors which, starting from Marxist concepts, attempt to explain the 21st century
reality based on the subsumption of labor under capital in a greater or lesser extent. This
perspective allows us to assert that the domination of working conditions in the capitalist mode
of production has rapidly progressed aiming to institute the private appropriation of the general
intellect.
