2. I've wanted to start this conversation for a long time. We are basically experiencing feudalism 2.0

When capital can flow freely between different political governments, but people cannot, how is this different from serfs being bound to the land?

If people cannot move / (or cannot easily move) to areas where they can get the most value from their skills/resources, but the governments can move the resources to wherever the government wants, how is that freedom?

As in original Feudalism, the landed gentry are allowed to roam free ---to an extent.
