    The rise of tech giants may be bad for the economy in the long run

    The rise of tech giants may be bad for the economy in the long run

    Long story short, as the tech giants eat up the competition productivity in the economic area drops. At some point that becomes bad for the economy.

    When it comes to competition, the Banque de France is here to tell you your economics textbook was right.


    Tech giants like Facebook and Amazon are the tip of the iceberg of a trend toward market concentration. That's good for profits, but a new study says it also risks harming productivity and growth potential in the long run.




    According to Sophie Guilloux-Nefussi, an economist with France's central bank, the market share of the eight largest companies rose in more than 60 percent of the sectors of U.S. between 2002 and 2012.

    Profits have grown as a consequence, but investment and salaries have failed to keep up. The falling share of companies’ revenue ending up in the pockets of workers may deepen the polarization of society while the lower investments reduce growth potential for the economy in the years ahead.

    Capitalism, protect your market share!

    That is, btw, a large part of what net neutrality was about.

    Net neutrality was more about controlling content than access. Access was a pretext.

    Sure, if you've fallen for the RWNJ propaganda.
