We live in times where the non-working rent collectors and speculators have emerged as the richest billionaires.
As 2017 begins and we flounder in our mad rush to force all of
India into a digital economy overnight, it is worth pausing and
reflecting on what the digital economy is, who controls the platforms
and lines as well as some basic concepts about money and technology
which have moulded our lives and freedoms, based on patented systems
that are failing the people of “West”. Obsolete systems are moulding our
patterns of work and our wellbeing — as a very large country, and as an
ancient civilisation — into a cast that is observably too small.
