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.

    @PositiveNoise idk, seems to me the big countries suffer from too much legislative capture for that.

    I live in a country where I do my taxes for free with one click and we don’t use paypal because we can all make free bank- to- bank deposits that clear in less than an hour.

    And the reason the US doesn’t have these basic things I’ve had for a decade is because of lobbying from Turbotax and the like.
