Technocapitalism refers to a contemporary economic and social system characterized by the dominance of technology-driven capital, where technological innovation becomes a central component of economic growth and wealth accumulation. This term encapsulates the interplay between technology and capitalism, highlighting how advancements in technology influence economic structures, labor markets, and social relations. A significant aspect of technocapitalism is the rise of the intangible economy, which is marked by the increasing importance of non-physical assets such as intellectual property, brand value, and digital services. This shift has led to new forms of economic centralization, where a few tech giants dominate markets due to their ability to scale rapidly and leverage synergies across different sectors.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
