Thanks Sam. I'd like to read the techno feudalism book. It is an interesting way of looking at the economic world today. I wonder if he addresses the "creative destruction" of Schumpeter. It has been the case throughout history that most sectors in capitalism have their time as seemingly unstoppable juggernauts and then a decade later things change. I'm thinking in terms of income and wealth.
I think it's a really good book! Not getting a ton of attention at the moment. You would be able to make more than I can out of the sections on Bretton Woods, global finance, etc. But thinking of the digital era as a completely different economic system does, actually, seem to jibe with most people's life experiences at the moment.

Oh, and here I thought that "neofeudalizm with smartphones" is my invention))
Very interesting article, Sam; I also would like to "steal" “he loved humankind but was mostly vexed or bored by humans”-happens all too often.
Thanks Chen! This books makes Wallace seem a right prick. I think the line is yours to steal! Benn Steil won't mind too much.
