The myth of capitalism

Book • 2018

Jonathan Tepper

In 'The Myth of Capitalism', Jonathan Tepper and Denise Hearn explore how the U.S.

economy has shifted from a competitive marketplace to one dominated by a few powerful companies.

They argue that this concentration of power stifles innovation, reduces wages, and exacerbates inequality.

The authors propose vigorous anti-trust enforcement as a solution to restore competition and promote economic growth.
