This conversation between @pluralistic and @VaroufakisDE starts off talking about a certain tech billionaire, but it soon veers into more interesting territory. It ends up as a masterclass in regulation #economics. Special treats await, towards the end, those of you who care about the #europeanunion and its attempt to be a civilizational model based on human rights and the rule of law (very imperfectly, I know).
@alberto_cottica@pluralistic@VaroufakisDE already love the intro statement of the Scifi writer Doctorow "there is a kind of cadre of tech billionaires who've read our dystopias and mistaken them for business plans".
