Varoufakis misses two key points:
- Our crony capitalism is shaped by central regulators, which push the creation of monopolies through favouritism, bailouts, pure corruption and public education making employee slaves out of children. I argue most of the largest companies would be network of indipendente providers if competition without regulations existed and VC didn't distort the markets. Monopolies are made by the state and their crooked friends.
- We don't have free will, we never had. We're biological machines with chemical mechanisms which are easily hacked. Our environment, most crucially other people, will shape what we want. Tech doesn't change the dynamics.
The rest is pure nonsense, I was expecting more from Varoufakis.
