    Feudalism is a rigid class structure determined by blood inheritance. That's not really what we have. A noble who looses their money would still have the privileges and rights granted by their title - they would still be part of the ruling class. If a member of our ruling class were to loose their money, loose their source of passive income, they'd very quickly no longer be part of the ruling class.

      I never said feudalism, it's technofeudalism. Two different things. To understand it more, I'd recommend you read "technofeudalism, what killed capitalism" by Yanis Varoufakis.

        then... it's not really a good name for it. I just don't really see how this isn't still capitalism.
