The New Goliaths

In "The New Goliaths," James Bessen explores how a new approach to economic competition can reinvigorate the market without dismantling corporate giants, suggesting that encouraging these companies to share their technology, data, and knowledge could restore fairness and innovation. The book examines the rise of dominant firms like Amazon and Google and how their use of proprietary technologies has led to economic inequality, slowed progress, and reduced regulatory oversight. Bessen presents an insightful, nuanced perspective on fostering a more competitive and equitable digital economy.
