    Chokepoint Capitalism

    The classic idea of a healthy and thriving market economy is that within each market there are buyers and sellers that can all buy and sell things from whomever they want. Capitalism, we are taught, is all about competition, freedom and choice where firms act normally as price takers, not price setters. In many markets, however, the reality today is different. Powerful corporations are leveraging technology to systematically create chokepoints by locking in buyers and sellers, stifling competition, and eventually using their market dominance to squeeze out more than a fair share of value. Using the work of Rebecca Giblin and Cory Doctorow as reference, Dr. Marty Rowland introduces us to the latest heresy of capitalism and discusses solutions inspired by Georgism.

    Instructor: Dr. Marty Rowland
