The Economist magazine has updated its quantitative calculation of the list of oligarchs and the largest capitalists in human history. The first place in this ranking is still held by Henry Ford, the chief architect of the mass Fordism, assembly lines and labor discipline of the 20th century industrial age, whose fortune in terms of the modern share of world GDP remains completely inviolable. However, the main titans of digital capitalism are already starting to breathe right down his neck - Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, whose huge platform and space monopolies are narrowing this historic gap with each new round of stock market valuation.
