i am currently working on a paper in this field, focusing on the capitalisation of expertise (analogue to marx) in the dynamics of cultural industry (adorno, horkheimer). it integrates the theories of piketty and luhmann. it is rather theoretical, with a focus on the european theories (instead of adorno you could theoretically also reference chomsky). is this something you would be interested in? i can share the link of course

Be careful, barely mentioning Marx, Chomsky or Picketty is a thoughtcrime in the new US. Many will shut themselves down to not have to engage with what you are saying.

Yes please
