Maverick economist Varoufakis argues that we’re all serfs now, paying rents
to the big tech “cloudalists” (or cloud capitalists). He talks about why we
don’t actually own the music and movies we buy online, what Don Draper knew
about behaviour modification, and how a Star Trek future could save us, and
democracy.

Yanis Varoufakis is the former finance Minister of Greece. His latest book
is Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism.
