A really neat analysis of the material and social dynamics of neofeudalism.

    No, but like in general: remove debt out of equation, there are few things I would care about owning directly, probably some memorable things and that’s it.

      I like the idea of library socialism, but the socialism part is the essential element. Shifting toward an economy of rent means a condition of precarity where you're never building value in your assets even if you contribute to them. You live at the whim of the tyrants who control that debt and use the power of the state to enforce it.

        Well yes, but the problem is debt then, not not-owning part. Maybe just semantic difference, but capitalists also like owning stuff
