Publication details: Hoboken, New Jersey : John Wiley & Sons , 2019 Description: 300 p. : gráf. ; 23 cmISBN: 9781119548195Subject(s): Capitalismo | Monopolios | Desigualdad social | Estados UnidosAbstract: "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 act as 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, social networks, Internet searches, or even consumer goods like toothpaste. Every day, the average American transfers a little of their pay check to monopolists and oligopolists. The solution is vigorous anti-trust enforcement to return America to a period where competition created higher economic growth, more jobs, higher wages and a level playing field for all.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
