In his groundbreaking book, Techno Capitalist Feudalism, Michel Luc Bellemare unravels the hidden logic of 21st century capitalism, exposing the stark new realities of our society and economy. Bellemare argues that we have entered a new era of capitalism, one defined by the rise of digital technologies and the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few giant corporations.

The Rise of Techno Capital

At the heart of techno capitalist feudalism is the concept of "techno capital." Techno capital is the combination of digital technologies and the data generated by those technologies. This data is used to create new products and services, which are then sold back to consumers. The result is a system that is both highly productive and highly profitable.

However, techno capital also has a dark side. It can be used to control and manipulate people. Corporations can track our every move online and use that data to target us with advertising. They can also use data to create new technologies that further entrench their power.

The New Logic of Capitalism

The rise of techno capital has led to a new logic of capitalism. In the past, capitalism was based on the idea of competition. Companies would compete with each other to produce the best products and services at the lowest prices. Today, capitalism is based on the idea of monopoly. A few large corporations control vast amounts of data and use that data to dominate their markets.

This new logic of capitalism has had profound implications for our society and economy. It has led to a growing gap between the rich and the poor. It has also led to a decline in democracy, as large corporations have more power than governments.

The Stark New Realities

Techno capitalist feudalism is a sobering indictment of our current economic system. It reveals the hidden logic of capitalism and the stark new realities of our society and economy.

However, Bellemare does not offer a simple solution to the problems of techno capitalist feudalism. Instead, he calls for us to think critically about the new logic of capitalism and to develop new ways of organizing our economy and society.

A Must-Read for Anyone Concerned About the Future

Techno Capitalist Feudalism is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our planet. It is a groundbreaking work that exposes the hidden logic of capitalism and reveals the stark new realities of our society and economy.

If you are interested in learning more about techno capitalist feudalism, I highly recommend reading Bellemare's book.
