"You can't know what democracy is if you don't live in a society that is democratic." (around minute 50)

29:43 Yanis Varoufakis (frmr. Gk. finance minister, Syriza) extends this point of ”insecurity” to even the owners of capital today with his concept of _Technofeudalism._ That capitalism as we knew it is dead-capitalists themselves are finding they too are enclosed and squeezed by Amazon. Precarity is a threat to even owners of capital now. Yanis puts hope in China’s digital state-run payment app. Saying that it is cost free to users, everyone has digital wallet from government. No longer does it take thousands of people to process, for most banks transactions are instantaneous and virtual now. People (and other governments) are realizing that finance is behind the times.
