Big Tech Destroys Creativity: a review of Chokepoint Capitalism
Channel: The Skeptical Leftist
Date: 07/11/2023

In this episode Justin and I talk about the book Chokepoint Capitalism by Rebecca Giblin and Cory Doctorow and as an extension we discuss some of the ways that capitalism and the drive for profit limits artists and can actually harm the creative process. We also spend some time thinking about Michael Brooks and the impact he had and how his absence has impacted the left over the last 3 years.
