Techno Feudalism

1Dime Radio

Is Capitalism dead? Are we in what Yanis Varoufakis calls "Techno-Feudalism" ? Or are just moving to a new stage of neoliberal capitalism, such as "Platform Capitalism" (a term coined by Nick Srnicek in his book Platform Capitalism)? In this episode of the 1DIme Radio podcast, I am joined by Ed from the Podcast called "A New Conversation" which you can find linked below. Ed and I have done multiple podcast together related to Political Economy and in this episode, we analyze Yanis Varoufakis's bold claim we are no longer in Capitalism, but a new system called "TechnoFeudalism.'

Varoufakis made this claim in his viral speech with Slavoj Žižek. You can find the link to a clip of it below: https://youtu.be/Ghx0sq_gXK4

In this podcast, we also discuss the book "Capital is Dead' by Mckenzie Wark and ponder if Marx's analysis of capitalism is still relevant in today's age of platform capitalism.
