The idea that we are entering an era of techno-feudalism that will be worse than capitalism is chilling and controversial. We asked former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis to elucidate this idea, explain how we got here, and map out some alternatives.

    It’s pretty meaningless to say it isn’t a form of government when it supersedes governments and controls them.

    Sure, parasitic wasp larvae aren’t spiders but when they occupy and puppet a spider’s movements the distinction is largely irrelevant.

      Is your take that rich people have power? Because that happens in every form of economic system and government, it’s just by what degree.

        I don’t mind the rich having power, I mind them being able to use that power to abuse others without consequences.
