This work explores the necessity of redefining value to envision a postcapitalist economy. It argues that to transition to new social forms, we must first reclaim value from the constraints of capitalist markets and the neoliberal reduction of life to mere human capital. The author emphasizes the importance of occupying surplus-value to pave the way for a postcapitalist future. The text serves as both a theoretical and practical manifesto, reexamining concepts of money, exchange, and finance, particularly how qualitative experiences are economically quantified. New conceptual tools are proposed to understand value in qualitative terms, suggesting that this revaluation could underpin an alternative economy. The author highlights the potential of emerging blockchain technologies, advocating for their redesign to prioritize collective creativity over individual choice and collaborative speculation over self-interest. Recognizing the specificities of our contemporary neoliberal condition is crucial to resisting its destructive power and reclaiming the future. This work aims to inspire a radical redefinition of value, essential for creating a livable postcapitalist future.
