Big Tech is reshaping democracy, economics, and global power dynamics. In this episode, we discuss the intersection of technology, politics, and power—drawing parallels between historical colonial capitalism and the present-day influence of “techno-oligarchs,” or “Broligarchs.”
We explore the implications for developing nations, particularly as they become increasingly dependent on—and exploited by—powerful global entities. We question unchecked corporate power as it seeks to undermine political systems and national sovereignty. Finally, we highlight the need for awareness and collaboration among developing nations to drive change at a global level.
