Yanis Varoufakis as quoted in Techno-Feudalism and the End of Capitalism – interview with Yanis Varoufakis (17 May 2021)
“
Jeff Bezos is getting rich not because of the profits of Amazon, but because of the increase of the share price. You’ve heard that he made what, $60 billion since the beginning of the pandemic? That’s not because of the profits of Amazon... The actual profits are nothing like that. It’s maybe one billion altogether, but he made 60! From the share price.
