PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
London — 1 January 2026
TC Press /The Codex Press Announces the Release of Beyond Labour: How Knowledge Becomes the New Engine of Value
A 175‑page economic scroll redefining value creation for the post‑scarcity age https://amzn.eu/d/fGuBDiH
TC Press / Codex Press, London, proudly announces the publication of Beyond Labour: How Knowledge Becomes the New Engine of Value, the eleventh volume by economist and sovereign publisher Temesgen Muleta‑Erena. Released simultaneously in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover editions, this 175‑page work inaugurates a new paradigm for understanding value, coordination, and civilizational design.
Beyond Labour argues that the engines of value in the 21st century are no longer labour, scarcity, or extraction, but knowledge, coordination, legacy, and ceremony. Through a series of modular chapters, Muleta‑Erena models a republic where epistemic capital becomes infinitely generative, coordination emerges as the central economic constraint, and legacy yields the most enduring returns.
Drawing from behavioural economics, indigenous strategy, thermodynamic governance, and systems design, the scroll reframes economics as a lineage‑building discipline. It offers not only theory but ceremonial infrastructure—rituals, scrolls, and sovereign institutions designed for a world beyond toil.
“This work is inscribed for stewards, system designers, and republic builders,” Muleta‑Erena writes. “It is not a conclusion. It is a transmission. The republic begins wherever knowledge is sovereign and legacy is inscribed.”

Book Review: Beyond Labour: How Knowledge Becomes the New Engine of Value
175 pages | TC Press / The Codex Press, London (2026)
Beyond Labour is a bold and meticulously constructed intervention in contemporary economic thought. Temesgen Muleta‑Erena proposes nothing less than a civilizational reframing: a shift from labour‑centric economics to a paradigm where knowledge, coordination, and legacy become the primary engines of value. The result is a work that reads simultaneously as economic theory, systems design, and ceremonial manifesto.
What distinguishes this volume is its refusal to treat economics as a closed technical discipline. Instead, Muleta‑Erena positions it as a lineage‑building practice—one that integrates behavioural economics, indigenous strategy, thermodynamic reasoning, and epistemic modelling. The book’s modular structure allows each chapter to function as a self‑contained scroll, yet together they form a coherent architecture of post‑scarcity thinking.
At the heart of the argument is a compelling claim: in a world where knowledge is infinitely generative, the true constraint is not labour but coordination. This insight allows the author to explore value creation through a new lens—one that prioritizes symbolic production, strategic alignment, and the design of institutions capable of sustaining abundance. The discussion of sovereign publishing as a form of economic and cultural infrastructure is particularly original, offering a rare synthesis of theory and lived practice.
Stylistically, Beyond Labour is written with ceremonial clarity. The prose is confident, intentional, and often poetic, yet grounded in rigorous conceptual reasoning. Muleta‑Erena’s background in economics is evident, but so is his commitment to crafting a scroll that transcends disciplinary boundaries. Readers encounter not only models and frameworks but rituals, signals, and republic‑building gestures.
This is not a book for those seeking incremental adjustments to existing economic models. It is a work for stewards, system designers, and thinkers interested in the long arc of civilizational development. Its ambition is vast, but its execution is disciplined, offering a rare combination of theoretical depth and visionary coherence.
Beyond Labour stands as a significant contribution to the emerging literature on post‑labour economics and coordinated intelligence. It is a scroll that invites rereading, reflection, and activation. For those willing to engage its ideas, it offers a blueprint for a world where knowledge is sovereign and legacy becomes the enduring currency of value.
