David Arditi joins me on the podcast today to discuss digital feudalism. We talk about the gig economy and it's implications for the workforce, the various ways in which the labor market allows and encourages labor conditions that share many of the core qualities of Squid Game, and the modern emergence of debt peonage. We also investigate the era of subscriptions and the cycle of endless consumption. And we discover the political leanings of some the most iconic fast food mascots.
