商品描述

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. The Myth of Capitalism is the story of industrial concentration, but it matters to everyone, because the stakes could not be higher. It tackles the big questions of: why is the US becoming a more unequal society, why is economic growth anemic despite trillions of dollars of federal debt and money printing, why the number of start-ups has declined, and why are workers losing out.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《資本主義的神話》講述了美國如何從一個開放、競爭的市場轉變為一個由少數幾家強大公司主導的經濟體,這些公司影響著我們的日常生活。像 Google、Facebook 和 Amazon 這樣的數位壟斷者充當了數位世界的守門人。Amazon 幾乎佔據了所有的線上購物支出。我們擁有選擇的幻覺,但在大多數關鍵決策中,面對高速網路、健康保險、醫療服務、抵押貸款產權保險、社交網路、網路搜尋,甚至是牙膏等消費品時,我們只有一兩家公司可選。每天,普通美國人都將他們薪水的一部分轉移給壟斷者和寡頭。解決方案是強有力的反壟斷執法,以使美國回到一個競爭促進更高經濟增長、更多工作機會、更高工資和公平競爭環境的時期。《資本主義的神話》是關於產業集中化的故事,但這對每個人都很重要,因為其影響不容小覷。它探討了幾個重大問題:為什麼美國變得越來越不平等?為什麼儘管聯邦債務和印鈔達到數萬億美元,經濟增長卻依然疲弱?為什麼創業公司數量減少?工人為什麼會失去機會?
