Yanis Varoufakis: Technofeudalism and the Death of Capitalism

Yanis Varoufakis is an economist, the former Finance Minister of
Greece, and the author of numerous bestselling books. Yanis
Varoufakis discusses his book "Technofeudalism: What Killed
Capitalism". Varoufakis argues that capitalism as we knew it is
dead — replaced by something more dangerous. Instead of markets
and competition, our world is increasingly ruled by digital
platforms that act like new-age lords, extracting rents from our
clicks, data, and attention. Varoufakis traces how Big Tech
dismantled the old capitalist order and built what he calls
“cloud fiefdoms,” where we are less consumers and more digital
serfs. Blending history, economics, and sharp storytelling, he
shows how this transformation threatens democracy and
concentrates power in unprecedented ways — while also pointing to
how we might resist and reimagine the future.Technofeudalism:
