Abstract: The paper deals with the definition of the concept of cognitive capitalism as a new historical phase of capitalism. Two main features are very important for this definition: the cognitive and immaterial dimension of labour becoming the leading factor of value creation and the central role played by the control of the production of knowledge and their transformation into goods. We show that the cognitive capitalism dynamics lies on four major transformations occurred since fordism's crisis: the information revolution, the rise of the part of immaterial capital that, incorporated into men, is closely linked to the development of the institutions of welfare state, the cognitive division of labour founded on the knowledges of workforce and its versatility, the relocation of value towards upstream, that is towards the work of conception and elaboration of prototypes.
