What are its relations of production and role in contemporary capitalism?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eLost-Time Injury Rates\u003c\/em\u003e Rodrigo Finkelstein examines the information-intensive operations of recording and processing work-related accidents, diseases and fatalities carried out by Workers' Compensation Systems. Situated within the field of political economy of information, this critique contributes to the understanding of how injury rates service a specific sector of the economy by constructing lost labour power for sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinkelstein convincingly argues that injury rates must be seen as grounded in the capitalist mode of production, and that they constitute a historical social relation that, by taking the semblance of inductive indicators, conceal specific capitalist relations that bring about the exchange and distribution of lost labour power among capitalists and wage labourers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodrigo Finkelstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1642598178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642598179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Haymarket Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Rodrigo Finkelstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159367839999,"sku":"9781642598179","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1c9fce9-a531-43b7-bb25-a938513fdca5.jpg?v=1689082187","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-time-injury-rates-rodrigo-finkelstein-9781642598179","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
