The leading lights of the tech revolution – Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk – have been hailed as savants and saviours of the modern age. And yet they are at the forefront of wealth inequality not seen since the heyday of the robber barons in the late 19th century, part of the slide to the First World War. Today, rampant inequality is inciting social unrest and undermining faith in the institutions of the democratic state. Citizens have been left at the mercy of unfettered capitalism – mere data subjects, endlessly surveilled, marshalled and increasingly angry and polarised.

Thus, we have rampant inflation and a growing gap between the rich and the poor today.

Sei kein Dodo, lern fliegen! Wir sind ganz schön bequem geworden. Wirtschaftlich ähneln wir flugunfähigen Dodos. Wir sind lieber Gehaltsempfänger als Unternehmer.

Martin Limbeck lamentiert nicht, er packt an.
