Why “feudalism”? Technofeudalism is the hypothesis that digital platforms have reshaped the economy so profoundly that it is no longer capitalist. In such a system, power and wealth come not from producing goods but from the rent a handful of corporations charge for access to infrastructure they own. The feudal analogy is straightforward. In the Middle Ages, peasants worked land owned by a lord and surrendered part of the harvest for the right to remain on it. Proponents argue digital platforms are the new land. Merchants, developers and users depend on them much like peasants depended on estates, and hand over a share of their income to the owners. Who coined the term? The name most often associated with technofeudalism is Yanis Varoufakis — the economist, former Greek finance minister and author of the 2023 bestseller “Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism.” But viewing digital networks and platforms as a new form of domination emerged at least two decades earlier. In 2002, Alexander Bard and Jan Söderqvist described “netocrats” — a new elite of the digital society controlling information flows — in their book “Netocracy: The New Power Elite and Life After Capitalism.” In 2004, media theorist McKenzie Wark introduced the “vectoralist class” — owners of information transmission channels — in “A Hacker Manifesto.” In 2014, researchers Vasilis Kostakis and Michel Bauwens, in “Network Society and Future Scenarios for a Collaborative Economy,” proposed the concept of “netarchical capitalism” — a regime in which centrally controlled platforms organize user interactions to accumulate capital. They called it a “neo-feudal form of cognitive capitalism”: users create value, while platform owners monetize it. Economist Cédric Durand’s “Technofeudalism: Critique of the Digital Economy” (2020) has strongly influenced the modern understanding of the term. Political theorist Jodi Dean, in “The Grave of Capital: Neofeudalism and the New Class Struggle” (2025), develops the idea that capitalism is gradually giving way to a new system of power and dependency. Technofeudalism, then, is not one person’s theory but a concept shaped by years of debate among philosophers and scholars of the digital society. Varoufakis brought it to a wider audience and drew media attention to it, acting more as a popularizer than a pioneer. What are cloud capital and cloud rent? Cloud capital is a new form of capital embodied in digital platforms, algorithms and datasets. It not only extracts profit from user activity but also shapes preferences by steering attention and behavior through search engines, recommendation systems and other services. Wark would call this control over the “vector,” while Varoufakis describes it as owning the “means of behavior modification.” Varoufakis sees a fundamental difference from traditional capital. Factory machines or farm equipment are used to produce goods. Cloud capital produces nothing directly: it creates and controls the digital environment where people trade, socialize and work, and platform owners derive income from their control over that environment and access to it. This income is called cloud rent. For example, a developer distributes an app via the App Store, and the store’s owner takes a cut of sales and in‑app purchases. In the technofeudalism view, the source of these revenues is not creating the product itself but control over the digital infrastructure through which data and payments flow. Who are vassal capitalists, cloud proletarians and serfs? Varoufakis divides participants in the technofeudal economy into four groups: Owners of cloud capital — the proprietors of digital platforms and algorithmic systems. They control the infrastructure where shopping, search, communication and entertainment happen, and extract rent from it; Vassal capitalists — companies that produce real goods and services but depend on platforms. An e‑bike maker on Alibaba or a seller on Amazon hands part of their profit to the platform owner and ends up subordinate, even if formally still a capitalist; Cloud proletarians — couriers, ride‑hailing drivers, warehouse staff and other workers whose labor is organized by algorithms. They are paid per shift or task but do not own the platform or set work conditions; Cloud serfs — ordinary users. Every post, like, comment or search query becomes data and content that the service monetizes. Unlike employees, cloud serfs typically are not paid for this. “Every time you upload a video to TikTok, Facebook or Instagram, you increase the value of those platforms. We do this with our labor, our activity and simply our presence. So we are not just serfs. We are cloud serfs who create capital. And nothing like this has ever existed in history,” Varoufakis said in a WIRED interview. Is it really not capitalism? Not everyone agrees with Varoufakis’s claim that capitalism has yielded to a new system. Critics acknowledge digital platforms have radically changed the economy, but say that does not necessarily imply a turn to feudalism. One of the most detailed critiques comes from technology scholar Evgeny Morozov. In his essay “Critique of Techno‑Feudal Reason” and a Jacobin interview, he argues that advocates of the concept mistake features of contemporary capitalism for signs of a fundamentally new order. When corporations control platforms, levy fees, manage user data and dictate market rules, it is tempting to conclude: “This is no longer capitalism.” Morozov calls that conclusion premature. Capitalism, he notes, was never reducible to free competition and innovation. Big business has always sought to entrench its power, corner key resources and use its position for extra gains. Platforms like Google, Amazon or Meta do this in new ways, but the underlying logic remains. Tech giants continue to invest: they build data centers, expand digital infrastructure, develop new products, pour billions of dollars into research and hire hundreds of thousands of employees. For Morozov, this matters because these corporations do not merely collect platform rent; they grow and compete with one another. He therefore suggests viewing the platform economy not as a post-capitalist or feudal order, but as a form of contemporary capitalism. In his view, digital platforms have amplified longstanding tendencies of the capitalist system — concentration of power, market monopolization and rent extraction — without creating a fundamentally new way to organize the economy. What does Varoufakis say about Bitcoin? Varoufakis devotes a separate chapter to digital assets — “The False Promises of Cryptocurrencies.” He opens with a historical parallel. In “Utopia,” Thomas More pondered how to free society from feudal vices. Tommaso Campanella’s “The City of the Sun” argued power should belong to artisans rather than parasitic elites. The economist sees crypto‑enthusiasts as heirs to this quest for a fairer social order. “[Their] faith in the power of crypto technologies is as much a reaction to technofeudalism as the original Utopia was a reaction to feudalism,” Varoufakis writes. He says that after the 2008 financial crisis, Bitcoin inspired a wide range of people, but over time the “libertarian faction of the crypto movement” prevailed. “For them, the number‑one enemy was always central banks, which they portrayed as a kind of Catholic Church insisting on mediating between people and their sacred profits, while casting themselves as modern Martin Luthers, proclaiming a Protestant Reformation. Thus, a crypto movement that initially attracted both anarchists and socialists turned into an extremely volatile currency market where anyone savvy enough in the new blockchain technology minted their own ‘coins,’ trying to pump their dollar value before cashing out. Their ideological disdain for fiat, or state‑created, money turned out to be a ruse to issue their own fiat. By the time one bitcoin traded above twenty thousand dollars in 2017, the cryptocurrency’s early emancipatory aura had evaporated,” the book says. In Varoufakis’s view, the chief beneficiaries of the technology became the very institutions it initially opposed. He points to examples such as blockchain platforms from JPMorgan and Microsoft, and solutions from Goldman Sachs, Mastercard and Visa. “Instead of gradually leading us to utopia, cryptocurrency has become another instrument of cloud finance and an engine of cloud‑capital accumulation,” he concludes. Varoufakis calls blockchain a brilliant answer to a question “we have not yet formulated.” But if the question is how to fix capitalism or overthrow technofeudalism, he argues, it is not the tool for that. “This does not mean crypto technologies will never prove useful to progressives. If and when we manage to socialize cloud capital and democratize our economy, blockchain technologies will come in handy,” he allows.

Google has opted out of the US federal program supporting quantum technologies. The company stated that the funding conditions could slow down the path to creating a useful quantum computer, according to Semafor. In May, the US Department of Commerce preliminarily agreed to allocate $2.013 billion to nine companies under the CHIPS and Science Act. The parties signed letters of intent and must finalize the funding terms. The list includes GlobalFoundries with planned funding of $375 million and IBM with $1 billion. The other seven companies are set to receive: Atom Computing — $100 million; Diraq — up to $38 million; D-Wave — $100 million; Infleqtion — $100 million; PsiQuantum — $100 million; Quantinuum — $100 million; Rigetti — up to $100 million. The US Department of Commerce stated that the program aims to accelerate research and production of technologies for the quantum ecosystem. Companies will work on various approaches to quantum computing, including neutral atoms, silicon spin qubits, superconducting systems, photonic technologies, and ion traps. As a condition of funding, the department must receive a minority non-controlling stake in each recipient company. The specific requirements that were decisive for Google are unknown. On June 10, Google Quantum AI COO Charina Chou noted at the Semafor Tech Summit in San Francisco that the corporation continues to work with the US government "in other ways." She mentioned that the government could better support the quantum sector through funding fundamental research. Google collaborates with national labs and academic institutions, and such research underpins more advanced quantum developments, she added. Chou also highlighted the challenging climate for attracting researchers from abroad. She emphasized that the US will need "the best talent from around the world" for breakthroughs in quantum technologies, while China remains "a serious competitor." PsiQuantum co-founder Pete Shadbolt supported government involvement in funding the industry. He stated that it is natural for US authorities to invest in quantum technologies due to their "profound geopolitical implications" and significance for national security. PsiQuantum is among the companies that received a letter of intent for $100 million. The funds are intended to address technical challenges in photonic quantum computing, including materials, single-photon detectors, and photonic packaging. In March 2025, China announced the creation of the superconducting quantum computer Zuchongzhi 3.0. The 105-qubit system is one example of the intensifying competition between the US and China in quantum computing.
