Summary:
Is Capitalism dead? Are we in what Yanis Varoufakis calls TechnoFeudalism? 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.
