Calling all colleagues! (Artists, writers, musicians, librarians, lawyers, & more!) It is with GREAT enthusiasm that I recommend pre-ordering and acquiring this new book “Chokepoint Capitalism” by @doctorow & @rgibli! /1
My next book is *Chokepoint Capitalism*, co-written with @rgibli: it's an action-oriented look at how tech and entertainment monopolies steal creators' incomes, with detailed, shovel-ready plans to unrig creative labor markets and pay artists:
