"Chokepoint Capitalism" is a call to action for the creative class and labor movement to rally against the power of Big Tech and Big Media. The book discusses the rise of corporate concentration and the resulting impact on various industries, leading to monopolies and monopsonies. It explores how powerful corporations create barriers to competition, capturing value that should rightfully go to others. The plight of creative workers is highlighted as an example of the challenges posed by "chokepoint capitalism."
The authors, Rebecca Giblin and Cory Doctorow, delve into different industries, including book publishing, news, music, screenwriting, and more, to illustrate how corporations use anti-competitive practices to lock in users and suppliers and drive down prices for workers and suppliers.
The second half of the book offers strategies and tools for overcoming these chokepoints, including transparency rights, collective action, radical interoperability, contract terminations, job guarantees, and minimum wages for creative work. "Chokepoint Capitalism" encourages workers from various sectors to unite and reclaim power and profit before it's too late.
