Stef Kuypers is a Belgian researcher specializing in behavioral and monetary economics.

Big Tech, Technofeudalism and the End of Capitalism
Part 2, Session 3149 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016Big Tech, Technofeudalism and the End of Capitalism
In this course, we turn our attention to one of the biggest winners of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Big Tech. These increasingly powerful and financialized firms routinely represent themselves as ‘innovators‘, ‘problem solvers‘ and self-anointed forces for good by connecting users and delivering value worldwide. But are the solutions provided by Big Tech as good as they contend? What does the rise of Big Tech entail for wealth inequality, democracy and capitalism itself?
Based on Yanis Varoufakis’ latest book – Technofeudalism, What Killed Capitalism, this course investigates the main challenges presented by Tech monopolies and discusses Georgist answers.
Dr. Marty Rowland is an environmental engineer with New York City’s Parks Department. Dr. Rowland is a faculty member as well as trustee at the Henry George School. He has published extensively on Georgist Economics and taught many courses at the School.
