Chokepoint Capitalism: How Big Tech and Big Content Captured Creative Labor Markets and How We'll Win Them Back by Cory Doctorow, Rebecca Giblin

challenging hopeful informative slow-paced

4.0

I read this book right after reading "Poverty, by America" and the two together are a one-two punch of detailing what's wrong with how our world works with respect to workers. I feel like my perspective has been changed by these two books. Not that I didn't know that something was wrong about how our economy seems to extract value from people without giving what it can back, but giving detailed examples of how this system came into being also gives hope. After all if exploiting workers is a deliberate march by large corporations, then it suggests it can be undone.
