Produktbeschreibung
The Profit Paradox describes how, over the past forty years, a handful of companies have reaped most of the rewards of technological advancements?acquiring rivals, securing huge profits, and creating brutally unequal outcomes for workers. Instead of passing on the benefits of better technologies to consumers through lower prices, these "superstar? companies leverage new technologies to charge even higher prices. The consequences are already immense, from unnecessarily high prices for virtually everything, to fewer startups that can compete, to rising inequality and stagnating wages for most workers, to severely limited social mobility. A provocative investigation into how market power hurts average working people, The Profit Paradox also offers concrete solutions for fixing the problem and restoring a healthy economy.

Rezensionen

We're talking about everything from the makers of cat food to the sellers of caskets."—Greg Rosalsky, NPR Planet Money
