Title: Chokepoint capitalism /Rebecca Giblin &Cory Doctorow. Varying title: Choke point capitalism : how big tech and big content captured creative labour markets, and how we'll win them back. Author: Giblin, Rebecca,(author.). Location: 338.477 GIB Added Name: Doctorow, Cory, (author.). Subject: Competition. Cultural industries. Capitalism -- Moral and ethical aspects. Artificial intelligence Target Audience: General. ISBN: 9781761380075 (pbk.) Collation: 303 pages ; 23 cm. Summary Note: "In Chokepoint capitalism, scholar Rebecca Giblin and writer and activist Cory Doctorow argue we’re in a new era of ‘chokepoint capitalism’, with exploitative businesses creating insurmountable barriers to competition that enable them to capture value that should rightfully go to others. All workers are weakened by this, but the problem is especially well illustrated by the plight of creative workers. By analysing book publishing and news, live music and music streaming, screenwriting, radio, and more, Giblin and Doctorow deftly show how powerful corporations construct ‘anti-competitive flywheels’ designed to lock in users and suppliers, make their markets hostile to new entrants, and then force workers and suppliers to accept unfairly low prices...Chokepoint capitalism is a call to workers of all sectors to unite to help smash these chokepoints and take back the power and profit that’s being heisted away — before it’s too late."
