Description
Chokepoint Capitalism examines how powerful corporations have come to dominate creative industries, controlling the platforms, marketplaces, and distribution channels on which artists, writers, musicians, and other creators depend. Rebecca Giblin and Cory Doctorow reveal how this concentration of power suppresses competition, weakens workers’ bargaining position, and allows companies to capture an outsized share of creative labor’s value. Combining rigorous analysis with accessible explanations and practical reforms, the book explores ways to challenge monopolistic systems and build fairer markets. It is both a critique of contemporary capitalism and an optimistic roadmap for reclaiming power for creators and the public.
