A first and very short description of the term “proletarian of the knowledge” could be

A proletarian of the knowledge is an employee who’s work contributes to the production and managment of new knowledge without receiving directly (e.g. via stipend) or indirectly (e.g. via social welfare) the full financial value produced by his work.

As bigger parts of the economy shift towards services and what we call in general third-level production, more bigger parts of the population are employed as “knoweldge miners”, ie proletarians of the knowledge.
