Jeff Bell reviewed Chokepoint Capitalism by Rebecca Giblin
Plenty to think about
4 stars
I really enjoyed this book. I was a bit skeptical at first, because the plight of people in the creative industry hasn't previously caught my attention. However, Doctorow and Giblin do a good job of using creatives to illustrate a larger problem of how corporations use anti-competitive measures to build chokepoints accrue dominant status in almost any given market, at the expense of both labor and the consumer. This book has given me a lot to think about.
