But under cover of them all, a new and more exploitative system has been taking hold: technofeudalism.Drawing on stories from Greek Myth and pop culture, from Homer to Mad Men, world-famous economist Yanis Varoufakis explains this game-changing transformation and how it holds the key to understanding our times. He shows that the key pillars of capitalism - profit and markets - no longer run the show. Instead, with every click and scroll, we cement the dominance of a new monster, cloud capital, birthed by big tech and central banks, which underlies the technofeudal regime.Once we grasp the enormity of this change, the crucial puzzles of our era dissolve: from the elusive green energy revolution to the New Cold War between the USA and China and how the conflict in Ukraine threatens globalisation. It explains why crypto technology is a false promise and social democracy is now impossible.But by equipping us to see this new power for what it is, Technofeudalism answers the burning question: how it might also be replaced, and with what, so that we may recover our autonomy and perhaps even our freedom too.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":50417077223755,"sku":"2047328","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50417077453131,"sku":"2202745","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/41KugmcacSL._SX323_BO1204203200__6316fa3e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726716067","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/technofeudalism-what-killed-capitalism","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
