Podcasts on the intersection of culture, media, and politics, hosted by Laura Marsh and Alex Pareene |
| ILLUSTRATION BY PAUL SAHRE |
Massive companies like Amazon, Google, Pfizer, and Uber don’t merely dominate an industry: They dominate our whole lives. The economy as we know it is populated by gigantic corporations, behemoths that have bought up not only their competition but also the businesses supplying or otherwise supporting them. Such monopolies act as a “rival form of government,” explains Zephyr Teachout, the author of Break ’Em Up: Recovering Our Freedom From Big Ag, Big Tech, and Big Money. On Episode 12 of The Politics of Everything, hosts Laura Marsh and Alex Pareene talk with Teachout about the dangers of allowing these outsize companies to grow unchecked, and what should be done about them. This episode originally aired July 29, 2020. |
