Evidence

‘Enter amazon.com and you have exited capitalism. Despite all the buying and the selling that goes on there, you have entered a realm which can’t be thought of as a market, not even a digital one.’ — Yanis Varoufakis, Technofeudalism, 340

Categorization

• QUESTION: Is this claim fully defensible, given that third-party sellers compete on price within Amazon? Worth interrogating what ‘not a market’ means operationally.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Yanis Varoufakis, Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism, 340
• XREF: connects to: Amazon vendors occupy digital fiefs policed by algorithm just as feudal vassals did — Yanis Varoufakis, Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism, 349
