For our March, 2025 meeting we will be reading the first four chapters of Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism by Yanis Varoufakis (Penguin Random House, Amazon). For our April meeting, we will be finishing the book.
Capitalism is dead. Welcome to technofeudalism. The perfect Christmas gift for the political visionaries in your life.
In his boldest and most far-reaching book, the visionary economist and number-one bestselling author Yanis Varoufakis shows how the owners of big tech became the world’s feudal overlords – replacing capitalism with a fundamentally new system that enslaves our minds, defies democracy and rewrite the rules of global power.
But as Varoufakis also reveals, technofeudalism contains new opportunities to thwart and overturn it, bringing into focus more clearly than ever the revolution we need to escape our digital prison.
