29:46Now PlayingIn this explosive interview on Al Jazeera’s Upfront, Marc Lamont Hill digs deep into the controversial power of Big Tech moguls like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and their growing influence over global politics, democracy, and the future of capitalism. Can billionaires with ties to world leaders like Trump and Putin really change the course of history? And how do their platforms shape our behavior and political landscapes without accountability? Guests Nobel Prize-winning journalist Maria Ressa and former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis lay out the uncomfortable truths about tech giants, surveillance capitalism, and the eroding power of democratic institutions. It's a wake-up call for anyone concerned about who really holds power in today’s world.
- Yanis Varoufakis is a former Greek Finance Minister, economist, and author known for his outspoken critique of global capitalism. He argues that tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon are rewriting the rules of the game, controlling the economy, politics, and even our behavior.
- Maria Ressa is a Nobel Peace Prize-winning journalist and founder of Rappler, a news outlet in the Philippines. She has been a fierce advocate for press freedom and against authoritarian regimes using social media platforms to manipulate democracy.
This conversation raises tough questions about the role of Big Tech in shaping global geopolitics, human behavior, and our future. Are we heading toward a dystopia where billionaires control more than just the economy?
