In this week’s episode of the pod I have brand strategist Mark Rukman on to talk about this concept of technofeudalism which I poke fun at in my book (albeit indirectly). 

The laptop class is having a moment right now in terms of it’s digital discourse. Economic anxiety has shifted from “my boss is the worst” to “late stage capitalism sucks”. So I brought Mark Rukman on to help me figure out if we’re actually living through the collapse of capitalism or just a few bad  years economically speaking.

We get into why capitalism has always had a gravitational pull toward feudalism when wealth concentration goes unchecked, why  American knowledge workers are feeling particularly disillusioned, and what history might tell us about how to interpret this situation.

If you like systems thinking and lessons in history, you’ll enjoy this episode a lot.
