dc.description.abstract
Software development, like all technological development, is a social process. It is not simply shaped by society: as the outcome of work, software development is part of society, part of its more general social development.
The aim of this paper is to probe beyond this very general statement by raising two questions. Firstly, how can we understand software as a social process? And secondly, how does this social process relate to the more general development of capitalist society, and in particular to the current long wave of capitalist development?
