Why “technocapitalism” is a great word
An economic and social order in which the primary source of value and power is the generation and ownership of technological innovation and its intangible assets. From the combining form techno- (from Greek tekhnē, 'art, craft, skill') + capitalism (from Latin capitalis, 'of the head, principal'), it fuses the art of making with the primacy of ownership. Unlike industrial capitalism, rooted in the tangible mass of factories and steel, or turbo-capitalism, fetishizing the velocity of deregulated finance, technocapitalism trades in the abstract: its most valuable assets are lines of code, genetic sequences, and behavioral predictions. It is the silent hum of a server farm, the glow of a screen mining attention, and the patent on a strand of synthetic DNA—a system that commodifies the very act of invention, transforming imagination into the ultimate capital.
