Allow This Man to Explain the Situation

01/04/2022 by Debbi

Ever get the feeling that there are so many apps and other sparkly thangs out there, that we’re being (almost deliberately) distracted to the point where no one is actually consuming what we create. Or we’re spending more time figuring out the latest social medium or life hack than we are creating our work.

BTW, I picked the above photo, because I couldn’t find a decent one for free that expressed the concept of antitrust law. Frankly, the creators of those laws (which date back to the late 19th century) could never have foreseen the manner in which commerce is conducted today.

And nowhere is the problem summed up better than in Lina Khan’s law review article on Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox. Khan, who has since been appointed head of the Federal Trade Commission, lays it all out very logically. But if you simply don’t want to read it, you should watch this video.

It pretty much says the same thing she did. (And I did. More than ten years ago.)

However, feel free to just ignore me. 🙂

My Book Review of ‘What’s Yours is Mine’

10/12/2021 by Debbi

Hi! Today, I’m reviewing What’s Yours is Mine by Tom Slee. You can’t really see the cover, but you get the idea, I think. And so in any case, I did like this book and you’ll hardly be surprised by why, if you have been listening to or reading any of my stuff lately.

My Book Review of ‘Blockchain Revolution’

10/05/2021 by Debbi

H!i Today I’m reviewing Blockchain Revolution. I guess that’s the name? Yeah, Blockchain Revolution by Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott. Father and son have written this book, and it has an impressive number of blurbs on it from an impressive number of people who are impressive themselves.

My Book Review of ‘The Curse of Bigness’

07/21/2020 by Debbi

Hi! I’m reviewing The Curse of Bigness by Tim Wu today. This is a great book that everybody should read. Everybody, because it concerns us all. It’s about antitrust law and it’s a short, concise, sensible explanation of the law, its history, why it was enacted, why the antitrust laws were enacted, and how they have been completely changed in meaning over the years.
