Chokepoint Capitalism

How Big Tech and Big Content Captured Creative Labor Markets and How We'll Win Them Back

Rebecca Giblin, Cory Doctorow

"Chokepoint Capitalism" is a powerful call to action for the labor movement and creative class to stand up against the overwhelming power of Big Tech and Big Media. The authors, Rebecca Giblin and Cory Doctorow, examine the monopolistic practices of these industries and how they create barriers that prevent new entrants and unfairly benefit their own bottom line. By analyzing the impact of these practices on book publishing, music streaming, and more, the authors provide practical tools and solutions for creating transparency, collective action, job guarantees, and fair wages for creative work. "Culture Heist" is a compelling and urgent plea for all workers to unite and take back their power before it's too late.

… one of the ironic tragedies of modern life. How those cool anti-corporate dudes in tees and jeans have turned into greedy union busting, libertarian swine. In Orwellian Animal Farm terms, the digital, media & startup pigs are now wearing trousers. This book really gets it      source
