The Secret History of Big Tech (It's darker than you think)

Aug 31, 2026

. Everyone thinks Big Tech started with some guys in a garage. But it actually started with the Pentagon. In Part I of this series, I trace the secret military money, Cold War contracts, and winner-takes-all ideology that built Silicon Valley, and explain how that DNA still shapes Google, Apple, and the AI race today

Who is REALLY controlling the economy?

Part 1 of the Neoliberalism Series: • The Self-Improvement LieIn this video, I’m exploring how business elites and super-rich industrialists funded a narrative that would come to dominate the 20th century: the myth that free markets equal freedom, that government is the enemy, and that corporate success magically trickles down to benefit everyone else. From child labor and propaganda campaigns to the rise of powerful think tanks and well-funded academics like Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton Friedman, this episode uncovers how the idea of “market fundamentalism” was carefully manufactured — and sold to all of us as common sense. Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l...Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss Part 3 of this series, where we’ll look at Reagan, Thatcher and everything that happened from the 70s onwards shaping today’s economic reality and the ever-increasing wealth-inequality we’ve seen rise.

Wealth inequality didn’t just “happen”, it was engineered. This video breaks down the economic decisions, geopolitical shifts, and global power structures that created today’s extreme concentration of wealth. From Bretton Woods to Volcker, Thatcher, Reagan, the IMF, and the rise of financialisation, this is the story of how the modern economy was rebuilt for the super rich and what it means for the rest of us.}:
