Microsoft - A Materialist Approach

This channel is about the political economy of the tech industry. By 'political economy', I'm referring to how the industry functions within capitalism, as part of the web of activities, from a critical perspective. The banner image shows a mine. This isn't random; all of computation is materially dependent on dangerous, exploitative industrial processes. Microsoft is the focus because I have decades of experience dealing with this firm from technical and business perspectives. You won't encounter any boosterism or product reviews here; there are plenty of places to get that. Just a grounded assessment of what the tech industry generally, and Microsoft specifically, is doing to derive profit, regardless of consequences.
