RE: Is Amazon Too Big? Monopolies and the Price of Convenience.

in #technology7 years ago

That is the fundamental philosophical problem of free markets i.e. they are never entirely free - or have not been so far. Large companies like Amazon can bend and shape regulations in a manner that serves incumbents like them and disadvantage smaller companies. They have a direct line to government and they can also carry out various technical schemes that allow them to dodge taxes - something that smaller companies can't do. So the idea that we have truly free markets is an illusion.

I agree, free market creates what we call natural monopolies and Oligopolies . Thanks for your response.
