今も呼吸する買弁資本 ― 文明を前に進めない経済構造の正体

This episode explores the idea of “comprador capital,” not as a moral failure, but as an economic structure that survives by connecting powerful external capital to local markets without creating real value. Drawing from personal experience in Bangkok, the talk shows how companies and individuals can exist by borrowing strong brands, translating, mediating, and managing relationships while producing nothing themselves. Such systems feel active but do not move civilization forward. They avoid both victory and defeat, clinging to winners and changing shape endlessly. Comprador capital becomes a quiet, zombie-like presence in modern economies, invisible yet persistent, revealing hollow economic survival.
