CCSI welcomed Denise Hearn for a talk on her new book.
The Big Fix, co-authored by CCSI Resident Senior Fellow, Denise Hearn, shows how corporate concentration is growing across many industries, leading to higher prices for consumers, lower worker’s wages, more inequality, fewer startups, less innovation, and lower growth and productivity.
The book details how companies perpetuate the illusion of rivalry to disguise their dominance, and how they’ve shifted from competing within industries to accumulating assets across industries, further entrenching their power. Markets aren't born, they are made and remade, and the right set of attitudes and policies can reduce corporate power and rebalance it throughout the economy.
