It feels like I could find a line, to rationalize what happened or not to MS or Apple. But in reality, in the wake of 9/11, USA thought it was more important to have extremely large companies, and it let them grow. (And MS’ EU fine was related to not giving the API doc, and perhaps using fines as a political weapon). Clearly, if US applied the anti-monopoly laws, it would shoot its own companies. In my opinion however, no single entity should dominate, govt or enterprise, and we must parcel large ones to keep competition fair, replacements rolling, class mobility high, the american dream possible for new entrants and more importantly, so that governance of our daily life is regularly given to the next generation. |
