Economia do conhecimento e educação: a fabricação do sujeito microempresa como modo de existência.

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to think the constitution of worker, here denominated subject micro enterprise, a subject whose only propose is to produce and sell his employability; subject constituted by means of specific ethic related to actual stage of capitalistic production and the economic model that sustain it. To think this, I used the concepts of Human Capital, Knowledge-based-economy, neo-schumpeterian evolutionary economy and innovation. The Schumpeter economic development theory and its deployment on actual neo-schumpeterian dynamics of Evolutionary Economy jointly with Knowledge-based-Economy was fundamental to think this thesis. The methodology consists on using bibliographical texts from authors and OECD, World Bank and UNESCO that allowed me to understand the actual dynamics of Knowledge-based-Economy and modes of constitution of subjects on this dynamics. The findings of this research indicate that the discourse about social gains from education investment to knowledge market as generator of wealth and development, results only on the constitution of us, by a specific ontology, as subject micro enterprise, establishing the competiveness as existence mode. The knowledge impoverishment reduced to mere information don’t work to a life qualified by culture, but for the economic productivity, because there is an ethic and aesthetic dimension that is eliminated on the constitution of this subject.
