Book SynopsisTrade Review[This] remarkable new book… should be required reading for everyone at Ofcom, the Competition and Markets Authority and the DCMS. — John Naughton, The Guardian In all, it is a strong argument that deserves a good hearing: far from chilling innovation, the book concludes, reining in Big Tech may be the only way to save it. — The Financial Times ‘Ariel Ezrachi’s and Maurice E. Stucke’s scholarly research on the digital economy, competition and antitrust law, and economic inequality have made waves in the policy debate space... The digital world has been changing so rapidly, but their proposals for the way forward are promising. Their book is a wide-angle look at where we are, and who and what we—as small businesses and everyday internet users—are up against. And if more people read How Big-Tech Barons Smash Innovation—and How to Strike Back I think it will enable more fertile ground for truly helpful and humane innovation, online and off.’ — Gabbi Cisneros, Porchlight Using vivid examples and relying on their work in the field, the authors explain how the leading tech companies design their sprawling ecosystems to extract more profits (while crushing any entrepreneur that poses a threat). — Porchlight
