Capital triumphed over democracy a long time ago. Today, following the Crash of 2008 and the rise of the platform corporations, a new type of capital has emerged. Command capital is crushing the remnants of our democracies and giving rise to a new, technofeudal, ruling class.
Economist, politician and best-selling author Yanis Varoufakis argues that a radical reassessment of property rights over machines and data is the only way for us to confront this new ruling class.
