I'm reading TECHNOFEUDALISM: What Killed Capitalism by Yanis Varoufakis, a former minister of finance for Greece.
Y'all.
I am learning so much. I squeaked a B- out of my intro to macroeconomics in 1979. I've learned more from the first half of this book.
Mind you, I'm not about to try to explain it. I'll need a couple more readings to really get it.
But "cloud capital" is the controlling force today, that much I can say. Not cash. Not precious metals or gems. And the financial sector is even more insidious than most of us already assumed.
Get a copy however you can. Read it.
And yeah, you know how I say "All words are made up"? So is all money, at the core.
