In a recent column for Bloomberg View, Michael Strain concedes “Big Tech” may be monopolistic, but argues that is no reason to break them up. Despite the wide variety of sins Google, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook stand accused of — promulgating fake news, stifling innovative competitors, and crushing mom-and-pop shops, to name a few — by the standards of consumer welfare, Big Tech is one of the best things to happen to the American economy in decades. He joins the podcast to discuss this argument and the future of the economy more broadly.
