Overview
You no longer own your car, your software, your music, or your films—you rent them. Big Tech has quietly rebuilt the entire economy so that you keep paying forever. Meanwhile, you're paying in time: scanning your own shopping, booking your own appointments, doing unpaid labor companies once did for you.
This eye-opening exposé reveals the hidden architecture of the subscription economy and calculates the true cost of what economists call 'usurocratic capitalism'—a system designed to extract endless rent from both your wallet and your time.
Essential reading for anyone feeling the squeeze of modern consumer life.
