• [[Listened]]: [[Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism?]]

  • [[Apple]] started making the most money when they had the platform through which they sold apps made by others and took a percentage of all sales.
  • A form of [[Rent]].
  • [[Google]], [[Amazon]], others as well.
  • I guess this is where it's quite similar to [[platform capitalism]].
    • I guess Varoufakis is saying it's something qualitatively different, Srnicek is saying it's a new evolution of capitalism.
    • Either way, seem to be in agreement that it's big, new, and bad.

  • I noted that down when listening to [[A Short History of Nearly Everything]], which says something like that - need to go back and find the exact quote.

• I'm returning to a bunch of fleeting notes I've logged in orgzly over recent months, that haven't made it to the garden yet.
