Abstract

A book on why most things are more expensive or lower quality, and why we're all still working long hours for the same or lower wages. Does it ever seem like most things you buy are more expensive or not as good as they once were, or both? Does it ever seem odd that, despite having access to much better communication and cheaper transportation, we're all working just as many hours and for the same wages as workers decades ago? Well, we now know you're not wrong to wonder about these things. In recent years, economists have been documenting how most of the gains from technology and globalization have been going to an increasingly concentrated number of huge businesses, at the expense of consumers and workers. Prices are higher and wages are lower. The reason is market power. One of the first to authoritatively document the rise of market power was Jan Eeckhout. In this book, he will explain for a general audience how large firms have faced increasingly little competition, allowing them to charge higher prices than they otherwise could. And how we, as consumers, pay more for many goods and services-"everything from a bottle of beer to a flight to Houston to our grandmother's prosthetic hip." As a result, business profits have soared since 1980, and just a few "mega firms" dominate the marketplace. Eeckhout shows how the rise in market power has had radically negative effects on work and the lives of workers-trends that, if not reversed, may cause historical corrections in the form of wars and market collapse. Drawing on a wealth of research and the stories of working people, The Profit Paradox will explain in clear language the rise of market power, how it could change the world further if left unaddressed, and how we can tackle the problem.

Abstract

Waarom moeten we 1200 euro betalen voor een iPhone die slechts 300 euro kost? Omdat enkele grote bedrijven, zoals Apple, AB Inbev, Zara of Amazon veel te dominant zijn geworden. Het zijn forten geworden met een brede, diepe slotgracht eromheen. De ongeëvenaarde technologische vooruitgang heeft die innoverende bedrijven ook toegelaten de concurrentie te fnuiken. Dat maakt dat zij de prijzen van hun producten kunstmatig hoog kunnen houden en grote winsten kunnen genereren. Maar daardoor is er minder productie, vervolgens minder vraag naar banen en zo ontstaat een neerwaartse druk op de lonen.Deze evolutie is funest voor heel velen. Kleine bedrijven hebben het moeilijk om te overleven en mensen die minder hooggeschoold zijn gaan erop achteruit. Hun reële lonen zijn vandaag de dag lager dan veertig jaar geleden. Ze verloren dus aan koopkracht en dat leidt onvermijdelijk tot sociale onrust.Eeckhout pleit voor een onafhankelijke competitie-autoriteit, liefst wereldwijd, die de middelen krijgt om de marktmacht van de supersterbedrijven binnen de perken te houden.Bron: www.bol.com

Abstract

A pioneering account of the surging global tide of market power—and how it stifles workers around the worldIn an era of technological progress and easy communication, it might seem reasonable to assume that the world’s working people have never had it so good. But wages are stagnant and prices are rising, so that everything from a bottle of beer to a prosthetic hip costs more. Economist Jan Eeckhout shows how this is due to a small number of companies exploiting an unbridled rise in market power—the ability to set prices higher than they could in a properly functioning competitive marketplace. Drawing on his own groundbreaking research and telling the stories of common workers throughout, he demonstrates how market power has suffocated the world of work, and how, without better mechanisms to ensure competition, it could lead to disastrous market corrections and political turmoil.The Profit Paradox describes how, over the past forty years, a handful of companies have reaped most of the rewards of technological advancements—acquiring rivals, securing huge profits, and creating brutally unequal outcomes for workers. Instead of passing on the benefits of better technologies to consumers through lower prices, these “superstar” companies leverage new technologies to charge even higher prices. The consequences are already immense, from unnecessarily high prices for virtually everything, to fewer startups that can compete, to rising inequality and stagnating wages for most workers, to severely limited social mobility.A provocative investigation into how market power hurts average working people, The Profit Paradox also offers concrete solutions for fixing the problem and restoring a healthy economy.
