What is the result when the Republican Party, the long-time champion of free-market principles, discards them to embrace many of the state-based solutions of the Democratic Party? You have conservative socialism. We are seeing a Republican Administration embrace industrial policy with gusto. The White House has used its trade and regulatory authority to take a big cut of one U.S. company’s semiconductor exports, forced an equity stake on a major tech company to become its largest shareholder, while proposing price controls in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to financial services. ...

The Microsoft File: The Secret Case Against Bill Gates, originally published by Random House in 1998, is a fly-on-the-wall account of Microsoft's and Bill Gates' predatory practices, and the struggles of the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice as they try to develop a strategy to counter one of the most serious charges of market manipulation since John D. Rockefeller and Standard Oil. The book is based on the author's interviews with Microsoft executives, Bill Gates himself (in person and in a direct email correspondence), federal sources, and scores of witnesses to the ...

Competition is responsible for much of the prosperity around us. Competitive markets deliver lower prices, better quality, abundance of choice, and increased innovation. But while competition benefits the consumers, it can prove challenging to producers and sellers, who need to constantly improve to stay in business. As a result, sellers may sometimes look for ways to dampen the competitive process.

From the man who coined the term "net neutrality," author of The Master Switch and The Attention Merchants, comes a warning about the dangers of excessive corporate and industrial concentration for our economic and political future. We live in an age of extreme corporate concentration, in...

Google était la chose la plus cool de Californie depuis l'invention du skateboard dans les années 1950, car ils prenaient un tas de pages Web désorganisées qui constituaient Internet et les organisaient avec leur algorithme PageRank. C'est en fait une idée simple, mais elle a fonctionné et a changé la façon dont les gens interagissent avec Internet depuis 1998. Internet évolue rapidement et Google a été transformateur dans son déploiement d'Android, de services cloud et bien plus encore depuis sa création, mais ils ne le sont pas. Ce n'est plus le cheval le plus rapide de la ...

This 100-page tour de force rips the intellectual cover off antitrust regulation to reveal it for what it is: a bludgeon used by businesses against their competitors. Unlike some critics, Professor Armentano carries the logic of his analysis to fullest possible length: "My position on antitrust has never been ambiguous," he writes. "All of the antitrust laws and all of the enforcement agency authority should be summarily repealed. The antitrust apparatus cannot be reformed; it must be abolished." Professor Armentano begins with the most rigorous and revealing account of the Microsoft ...

American monopolies dominate, control, and consume most of the energy of our entire economic system; they function the same way as cancer does in a body, and like cancer, they weaken our systems while threatening to crash the entire body economics. American monopolies have also seized massive political power and use it to maintain their obscene profits and CEO salaries while crushing small competitors.

Google è stata la cosa più bella della California da quando lo skateboard è stato inventato lì negli anni '50, quando hanno preso un mucchio di pagine web disorganizzate che costituivano Internet e le hanno organizzate con il loro algoritmo PageRank. In realtà è un'idea semplice, ma ha funzionato e ha cambiato il modo in cui le persone interagiscono con Internet dal 1998. Internet si muove velocemente e Google ha avuto un ruolo trasformativo nella sua implementazione di Android, servizi cloud e molto altro sin dal suo inizio, ma non lo sono non è più il cavallo più veloce della ...

New York Times best-selling author Wendy Goldman Rohm documented the inside story of the U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust case against Microsoft in this feature article that first appeared on the cover of Wired magazine in April 1994. It is now available as a Kindle single. Her best-selling book The Microsoft File was published by Random House's Times Books in 1998, and also published in 14 languages worldwide.

Since it first appeared in 1978, this seminal work by one of the foremost American legal minds of our age has dramatically changed the way the courts view government's role in private affairs. Now reissued with a new introduction and foreword, this classic shows how antitrust suits adversely affect the consumer by encouraging a costly form of protection for inefficient and uncompetitive small businesses. Robert Bork's view of antitrust law has had a profound impact on how the law has been both interpreted and applied. Lucid, highly readable, and full of rich social and political ...

It was the first day of witnesses in the US v. Live Nation trial when text messages between Patti Kim and John Abbamondi of Barclays Center were discussed but deemed sealed. Later on March 4, I filed a motion to unseal that exhibit, and others in the case. Judge Arun Subramanian granted it: "The Court received the attached communication from Matthew Lee of Inner City Press.

It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff Exhibit 230 be ...

Could history repeat itself, with one giant entity taking control of American information? Most consider the Internet Age to be a moment of unprecedented freedom in communications and culture. But as Tim Wu shows, each major new medium, from telephone to cable, arrived on a similar wave of idealistic optimism only to become, eventually, the object of industrial consolidation profoundly affecting how Americans communicate.

From Tim Wu, author of the award-winning The Master Switch ( a New Yorker and Fortune Book of the Year) and who coined the term "net neutrality”—a revelatory, ambitious and urgent account of how the capture and re-sale of human attention became the defining industry of our time. Feeling...

The Myth of Capitalism tells the story of how America has gone from an open, competitive marketplace to an economy where a few very powerful companies dominate key industries that affect our daily lives. Digital monopolies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon are gatekeepers to the digital world. Amazon is capturing almost all online shopping dollars. We have the illusion of choice, but for most critical decisions, we have only one or two companies when it comes to high speed internet, health insurance, medical care, mortgage title insurance, or even consumer goods like toothpaste.

Google was the coolest thing out of California since the skateboard was invented there in the 1950s as they took a bunch of disorganized web pages that made up the Internet and organized with their PageRank algorithm. It's actually a straightforward idea, but it worked and changed how people have engaged with the Internet since 1998. The Internet moves fast, and Google has been transformative in its deployment of Android, cloud services, and much more since its inception, but they aren't the fastest horse in the race any longer. The US DOJ is right to consider breaking Google up as they ...

During the past few years, as our country has faced unprecedented challenges, Senator Klobuchar has been in the room where it happens—on the Senate floor for critical votes during the pandemic, at the debate podium during one of the most critical presidential elections in US history, and in the Capitol on January 6, 2021, when insurrectionists stormed the building, interrupting the certification of the electoral college. It was well past midnight when Klobuchar stood beside then-Vice President Pence to officially certify President Biden's victory.
