Heute leider keine Zeit für Kartellblog., daher nur diese Empfehlung zur Lektüre:
Tim Wu, “In the Grip of the New Monopolists”, im Wall Street Journal als Abrundung einer Buch-Publikation.
Dazu zum Beispiel:
- Geoffrey Manne und Joshua Wright, “What’s An Internet Monopolist? A Reply to Professor Wu”
What struck us about Wu’s column was that there was not even a thin veil over the “big is bad” theme of the essay.
- Adam Thierer, “Tim Wu Redefines ‘Monopoly’” (mit einer Replik Wus)
But even if one accepts Wu’s artificial, narrowly-defined industry sub-sectors (and I certainly don’t), he completely ignores the competition taking place among many of these giants and the fact that innovation and new entry continues at a healthy clip.
- Mathew Ingram, “Should We Be Afraid of Apple, Google and Facebook?”
… the ubiquity of the web arguably makes monopolies more difficult to maintain, not less.
Spannend, unbedingt ansehen.
