Where Warren’s Wrong
Agree 95%, but one point he uses to crticize Warren seems wrong:<p>Where Warren says
&quot;America’s big tech companies have achieved their level of dominance in part based on two strategies:
using Mergers to Limit Competition,...&quot; he argues that they achieved dominance by making good products and were already dominant when they started making major mergers, and that Warren doesn&#x27;t understand this.<p>It sounds like he&#x27;s missing the whole point here: google, amazon, and apple of course did achieve dominance by making a good product, but then they leveraged that dominance over one product to dominance over the whole tech sector with a combination of more good products and anticompetitive moves. Warren does not argue that companies that make good products shouldn&#x27;t be allowed to get big - just that they should be scrutinized and not allowed to make anticompetitive moves. Indeed, all of the tech companies she has proposed breaking up would still be huge companies with &quot;dominating&quot; products (including control over their respective platforms - search, app store, amazon store); but hopefully the ecosystem on those platforms can flourish without competition from the platform companies.
