PS. Feedback request: How did you find last week's reading pace? Fast/Slow/OK/etc.? I did some calculations ..and I realised that we may finish this somewhere around the first half of 2027, which looks very far away, so we might have to slightly up the pace. It would be cool if we cool finish by the end of 2026.
Very relevant chapters for the current western economic climate.
I am betting some very good examples can be added to chapter C as a whole in a year or two.
Oo sounds interesting
I havent read these sections, what examples do you mean?
Well the chapter is talking a lot about oligopolies and currently in the west basically every segment of the market is an oligopoly.
We can see the mergers and consolidation of the market in places like the steaming industry and the game industry.
We can see protectionist measures in the electric vehicle market.
And carving a new market share from an existing market in the ~~sports betting~~ prediction markets space in America in particular.
