Description
'A fascinating book that sheds important new light on the peculiar economic power of big tech.'
Nick Srnicek, author of Platform Capitalism
‘Big tech are the architects of digital capitalism, capturing data and frontier technologies to expand their concentrated economic power. As Staab shows in this comprehensive and provocative book, they are not just market players, they are the market. A must-read for understanding the world we live in.’
Cecilia Rikap, author of Capitalism, Power and Innovation
‘Staab offers a refreshingly grounded perspective on digital capitalism. Rejecting hyperbolic narratives, he explains how tech companies actually wield market power. This insightful book provides a crucial, Schumpeterian account that recalibrates our understanding of the digital economy’s actual and future trajectory. A must-read for anyone seeking clarity in the age of digital giants.’
Aaron Benanav, author of Automation and the Future of Work
'Jargon-free, well-argued, and thought-provoking.'
Diane Coyle, Financial Times
