Technofeudalism
What Killed Capitalism
SINOPSE
Capitalism is dead. Welcome to technofeudalism.
In his boldest and most far-reaching book, the visionary economist and number-one bestselling author Yanis Varoufakis shows how the owners of big tech became the world's feudal overlords – replacing capitalism with a fundamentally new system that enslaves our minds, defies democracy and rewrite the rules of global power.
But as Varoufakis also reveals, technofeudalism contains new opportunities to thwart and overturn it, bringing into focus more clearly than ever the revolution we need to escape our digital prison.

‘An urgent demand to seize the means of computation’ CORY DOCTOROW
A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
CRÍTICAS
What an amazing piece of work this is. Ground-breaking, thought-provoking and highly accessible. Everyone should read it. This is where we’re going. The dark, scary, exciting song of our age. 100 out of 100
IRVINE WELSH
An important new book ... that describes what is happening in terms of an epochal, once-in-a-millennium shift … in Varoufakis's telling, this isn't just new technology. This is the world grappling with an entirely new economic system and therefore political power
Carole Cadwalladr, Observer
Arresting … an ambitious thinker and a lively writer … Varoufakis is right that we are in thrall to digital platforms, who hold our data hostage and prevent us from switching to “a competing cloud fief”
The Times
Varoufakis is a remarkable combination of analyst and dreamer… as always, Varoufakis makes his readers think… an important achievement
Financial Times, *Books of the Year*
In his characteristically enthralling style, Varoufakis guides the reader through some of the most significant trends in the modern economy, showing clearly how the big tech giants have built an economy that works for them - and how everyone else can take power back
GRACE BLAKELEY
A book for anybody who wants to understand the mess we're in - and since we're all in this mess, that makes it a book for everybody
SLAVOJ ZIZEK
With superb storytelling, Varoufakis shows how capitalism has eaten itself alive, mutating into an entirely different and more dangerous beast, and calls on us to free ourselves from digital serfdom
BRETT SCOTT, author of Cloudmoney
Provocative and accessible, this is sure to be a key touchstone in debates about the future of the global economy
NICK SRNICEK, co-author of Inventing the Future
Compulsive and necessary reading
KEN LOACH
What if capitalism died and no one noticed - not even the capitalists? Digital platforms usurped capitalism and installed something far worse. This book is an urgent demand to seize the means of computation

OPINIÃO DOS LEITORES
Novas fronteiras
Filipe Moreira
O autor aborda do seu ponto de vista político aquele que é um tema incontornável da contemporaneidade, elencando variadissimos aspectos aos quais devemos estar atentos para preservarmos uma justiça social sempre em perigo, variando apenas as máscaras
Surpreendente e muito informativo
V. Sousa
A escrita de Varoufakis é muito acessível e agradável, mas não deixa de ser muito informativa. O livro está muito bem fundamentado e é rigoroso na análise que faz da economia e da sociedade. Produz uma leitura extremamente atual do que estamos a viver em 2025.
