Capitalism’s death has been foretold many times over. And for the economist who, as Greece’s finance minister, battled Europe’s financial establishment, capitalism has been killed off by ‘cloud capitalists’, or ‘cloudalists’, a mutant of the old capitalist class that has liberated itself from the twin imperatives of capitalism — market competition and profit.
