In the late 1920s, Siegfried Kracauer studied the then new middle class in Berlin, asking why they were not more disruptive of the structures that bore down on them. I ask the same about insecure professionals in contemporary Berlin, using Kracauer's book Die Angestellten as foil. Kracauer demonstrated that, in the 1920s, they still perceived themselves as workers, albeit white-collar and salaried workers. Berlin's professionals today perceive themselves and most everyone else as autonomous individuals possessing human capital that can appreciate or depreciate as the result of their actions. Work is but one of the sites in which a classless, self-formed identity can be cultivated and calibrated in all aspects of life. I show how this perception plays out in professionals' attitudes toward their work lives and after-work activities.

In Cuba, scarcity is an ever-present reality due to more than six decades of socialist regime and consequent economic embargo. One of the coping strategies for people facing such adversity has been to develop great abilities to repair and reuse objects and materials. In a certain way, Cubans are like Lévi-Straussian bricoleurs, or, better said, they are engineers who had to adjust their project because the universe of tools at their disposition was closed, leading them to make do with the less they are provided with. Indeed, they create objects by repairing and reusing parts and materials, and by doing so, they refer to specific concepts like inventing, innovating, adapting, and recycling. Many of the practices, apart from being a way of earning a living, directly depend on the recovery of discarded elements and are therefore part of a complex economy that involves waste, which, once recovered, becomes a resource again. This article focuses on how social actors regulate and negotiate access to remunerative knowledges related to waste, what I call wastecrafts. Drawing on anthropological literature about gift giving and sharing, I reflect on how the transmission of practices related to waste takes place in Havana. My argument is that practices of reciprocity, sharing, and, in some cases, stealing the art coexist and are all to understand within the emic ideas of inventar, luchar, and sobrevivir.

Experiments in money often recapitulate long-standing human concerns over finality and fixity, despite money's reference points in political authority, trust, and the memorialization of relationships of credit and debt. From the point of view of the primary set of infrastructures facilitating the movement of money in 2050, those concerns are misplaced. Recounting the history of those infrastructures, this love letter from a future intelligence is addressed to those humans who would reimagine money so that they will recognize the human and technical infrastructures on which it has always depended.
