Podcasts about monopolists

War er ein genialer Visionär oder ein skrupelloser Monopolist? Jacob Fugger aus Augsburg definierte im Zeitalter der Renaissance neu, was es bedeutet, reich und mächtig zu sein. In dieser Episode reisen wir zurück in eine Zeit, in der Geld begann, die Welt zu regieren. Jacob Fugger verstand es wie kein anderer, wirtschaftliche Macht in politischen Einfluss umzuwandeln. Er finanzierte Kriege, bestach Kurfürsten und legte sich mit der Kirche an, um das Zinsverbot zu umgehen. Doch sein Bild in der Geschichte ist zweigeteilt: Der knallharte Geschäftsmann steht dem Stifter der Fuggerei gegenüber, der ersten Sozialsiedlung für bedürftige Bürger, die noch heute existiert. Wir analysieren das komplexe System Fugger und fragen uns: Was können wir heute noch von seinem Aufstieg und seinen Methoden lernen? Begleite uns auf den Spuren des ersten modernen Superreichen der Geschichte.

Oh, happy day! Thanksgiving, I mean – our annual pause for family gatherings to celebrate the rich and tasty diversity of America's harvests.There is, however, something decidedly distasteful that has steadily been forcing its way onto our dinner tables: Raw monopoly power. This concentration of market control in the hands of a few domineering conglomerates is decimating farm families, swindling food industry workers, and gouging consumers. Economists have a technical term for what food industry profiteers are doing to us: The term is “stealing.”Farmers know the evil of unrestrained monopolists all too well, for they are relentlessly squeezed by two sets of them. First, everything they must buy to produce food – from seed to tractors – is controlled by non-competitive giants that charge rip-off prices. Second, when selling their products, farmers and ranchers are boxed-in by corporate cartels that only offer take-it-or-leave-it, go-broke prices.Then, this same anti-competitive system turns on us consumers, charging grossly-inflated grocery prices that give them monopoly profits and even more market power.This Thanksgiving dinner is a good time to tally up the ever-widening monopoly spread separating you from farmers:* A Butterball turkey costing you $2.42 a pound, pays the farmer 6 cents per pound.* Potatoes costing $4 a bag returns only 55 cents to farmers.* Wheat farmers only get 13 cents from a $4.50 loaf of whole wheat bread.* Top sirloin steak cost $16.50 per pound, but ranchers get under $4.* Even simple lettuce is $2 to you, but pays only 29 cents to farmers.The very idea of Thanksgiving is that We're All In This Together. So let's get together and bust these greedheaded monopolies. For connections, go to Family Farm Action: farmaction.us.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

A GoFundMe campaign has been established to help pay Alan Blyweiss' family pay for his end of life arrangements and to helping classroom teachers buy school supplies through the Make a Wish Foundation. The August 2025 Spam Update continues to mulch its way through Google's index with few changes reported thus far. The rollout might take several weeks to complete. Google has updated its policies and guidelines for Google Business Profiles. There's a lot to go over so we're referring listeners to SERoundTable for highlighted details. The penalty for one of the Google Anti-Trust cases has been announced. Speculation had Google losing one or more parts of its business such as the Chrome browser after being declared a monopoly however the judge only ordered Google to share some data with its competitors. Released court records have shown us a bit more about how Google operates, including the FastSearch process of rapidly checking the veracity of AI generative statements. We also learn more about how Google ranks and scores documents in its index. A study shows AI and organic search converting at relatively even rates, WordPress introduces a new AI building tool called Telex, Character AIs (including one with that domain name) might be unsafe for children (duh?), Google fixes its crawl problem, and, Google's crawl budget is generally unrelated to algorithm updates. All this and a lot more ... Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/webcology/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Het Amerikaanse Ministerie van Justitie was er vorig jaar nog zó blij mee. Rechter Amit Mehta bestempelde Google tot monopolie. Maar alle maatregelen die het Ministerie voorstelde om daar wat aan te doen, kunnen weer de prullenbak in. Dat zegt dezelfde rechter Mehta. Het dochterbedrijf van Alphabet mag webbrowser Chrome houden en het mag Apple blijven betalen om zijn zoekmachine voorrang te geven in je iPhone. Toch komt Google niet helemaal met de schrik vrij. Het moet verplicht data over de zoekmachine delen met concurrenten, waaronder OpenAI, het bedrijf dat dit jaar al marktaandeel weg zat te snoepen van de monopolist op de markt. We bespreken of de rechter zo toch het monopolie geweld aan weet te doen. Verder praten we over iets onbegrijpelijks waar we het in beursprogramma's maar zelden over hebben: de obligatiemarkten. Beleggers dumpten wereldwijd staatsobligaties omdat ze er niet langer op vertrouwen dat de overheden van Japan, het VK, Duitsland, Frankrijk én de VS het huishoudboekje op orde hebben. En dan mogen we het cliché van stal halen, want gedumpte obligaties betekenen lagere obligatieprijzen en dus hogere effectieve rentes. Waarna overheden meer betalen om te lenen. Je hoort wat dat betekent voor beurzen wereldwijd. Het gaat over Aegon, dat steeds Amerikaanser wordt. De financiële reus en verzekeraar kreeg aandelen van ASR in ruil voor het verkopen van zijn Nederlandse activiteiten, maar doet nu ook die aandelen van ASR van de hand. ASR staat op zijn beurt klaar om die weer in te kopen. En we vertellen je over een volgend bedrijf dat in Amsterdam naar de beurs wil. Een kleine déjà vu van twee weken geleden, want het gaat alweer om een Bitcoin Treasury. Dat wil met geld van aandeelhouders Bitcoin kopen. Deze keer is het wel een wat grotere partij, met steun van een nogal bekende tweeling in de financiële wereld. Laten we zeggen dat ze allebei geen Facebook-profiel hebben...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cornelius Vanderbilt was a force in 19th century America, playing a pivotal role in transitioning the U.S. economy from rural mercantilism to industrial corporate capitalism. Vanderbilt didn't just compete—he dominated; and didn't just dominate one industry—he conquered three: ferries, steamships, and railroads. He understood that power lay in controlling infrastructure and not just operating within it. His cutthroat tactics were both feared and admired but his vision for what the economy could be was undeniable.  This is the story of how Vanderbilt turned calculated aggression into an art form, how he endured more pain than his competitors, and how he built systems that outlived him.  Learn the mindset, strategies, and brutal lessons behind his dominance; the game of business hasn't changed as much as you think.  (02:20) Prologue (05:12) PART 1 - The Dutch Inheritance (08:21) The Young Boatman (12:30) Capitalizing on War (15:27) General Merchant of the Sea (19:29) PART 2 - The Meeting That Changed Everything (21:48) The Steamboat Wars (24:12) The Anti-Monopoly Crusader (27:06) The Rise of the Commodore (32:08) The Monopolist's Nemesis (34:58) PART 3 - Sole Control (37:28) Prometheus (40:18) Star of the West (44:06) Europe and Betrayal (48:15) The Independent Line (50:13) PART 4 - The Commodore's Return (51:55) Gray Eyed Man of Destiny (53:36) The Conspiracy (54:41) Finishing Walker (55:54) Conquering the Seas (58:13) America's Wealthiest Citizen (60:47) PART 5 - Vanderbilt's Railroad Dominance (01:01:59) The Path to Confrontation (01:03:37) The Breaking Point (01:04:43) The Power to Punish (01:06:32) The Collapse (01:07:50) The Silent Conquest (01:08:57) The Consolidation (01:10:54) The Legacy (01:12:15) FINAL PART - Vanderbilt: The Architect of Modern American Business (01:14:19) Reflections This episode is for informational purposes only and most of the research came from reading The First Tycoon by T.J.

The landmark adtech trial of the century has now officially come and gone. Google and the Department of Justice wrapped up their cases with closing arguments last week.Next up – a decision in the case from the Judge presiding in the case, Judge Leonie Brinkema.

Die Politikwissenschaftlerin Ulrike Franke über Drohnen als riskante Waffen und ihren Einfluss auf die Kriegsführung. Ein Podcast vom Pragmaticus. Das Thema:„Wir haben noch nie einen Krieg gesehen, in dem Drohnen so zentral sind und in so einer großen Zahl eingesetzt werden“, sagt Ulrike Franke über den Ukraine-Krieg. Die Politikwissenschaftlerin erklärt in diesem Podcast, warum diese Waffen für eine neues Zeitalter des Krieges stehen. Drohnen stehen nach ihrer Einschätzung erstens für den wachsenden Einfluss privater Unternehmen und Konzerne in Kriegen zwischen Staaten. Zum Zweiten für die Involvierung von Zivilisten in den Krieg. Nachdem Drohnen eine Hobbytechnologie sind, kann jeder und jede damit umgehen und damit am Krieg beteiiigt werden. Zum Dritten stehen Drohnen für die Macht Chinas: Der staatskapitalistische Staat ist Monopolist bei kleinen Drohnen, das sind jene, die im Ukraine-Krieg eine Hauptolle spielen. Unser Gast in dieser Folge: Ulrike Franke ist Politikwissenschaftlerin und arbeitet mit den Schwerpunkten deutsche und europäische Sicherheit als Senior Policy Fellow beim European Council on Foreign Relations und als Lehrbeauftragte an der Sciences Po Paris. Militärtechnologien insbesondere Drohnentechnologien sind ihre Forschungsthemen und Themen des Podcasts Sicherheitshalber, den sie gemeinsam mit Carlo Masala, Frank Sauer und Thomas Wiegold ins Leben gerufen hat.Dies ist ein Podcast von Der Pragmaticus.

hom Hartmann is an American radio personality, author, former psychotherapist, businessman, and progressive political commentator, whose talk show has been rated in the top 10 shows for over a decade by Talkers Magazine. His most recent book is “The Hidden History of the American Dream?” America, primarily thanks to FDR and unionization, was a catapult for the middle class until the early 1980s. The Reagan influence of Neoliberal economics contributed to the decentralization of regulations, race to the bottom, union busting and globalization for cheaper wages. The National Relations Labor Act legalizing unions was some of the most substantive legislation supported by FDR.  Five suggestions to reactivate the American Dream: 1) encourage unionization and National Labor Relations Act; 2: raise top income bracket for the rich; 3) raise top corporate income tax to reduce bogus tax deductions; 4) reestablish inheritance tax; and,  5) guarantee social safety movement with health insurance.

On this MadTech Podcast episode, ExchangeWire editor Aimee Newell Tarín is joined by CEO Rachel Smith and head of content John Still, to discuss the latest in marketing and ad tech.

Next in Media spoke with Ronan Shields, who covers ad tech for Digiday, about how the DOJ's case against Google is going in the ongoing ad tech trial, and whether he thinks this case will really reshape the digital ad market anytime soon. Ronan also discussed why some publishers are worried about a potential Google loss, and what Meta and Amazon might be thinking.Sponsored By MolocoTakeaways:• Google's Antitrust Case: The current trial is focused on Google's ad tech business, specifically regarding accusations of monopolistic practices. • DOJ's Strong Case: The Department of Justice (DOJ) seems to be in a favorable position due to damaging internal communications from Google executives. • Damning Evidence: Internal Google emails suggest the company used its dominant position to force publishers into using its ad tech stack, thus limiting competition and harming alternatives in the market.• Impact on Publishers: Many publishers are rooting for Google's loss, but some are concerned about the immediate impact on their monetization strategies if Google is forced to divest its ad tech stack.• Google's Defense: Google argues that competition exists from companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and others. Their defense suggests they are simply better at what they do, not monopolistic.• Future Ramifications for Other Tech Giants: If Google loses, it could set a precedent for future antitrust actions against other big tech players like Meta (Facebook) and Amazon, who are also in the crosshairs of regulators.Guest: Ronan ShieldsHost: Mike ShieldsSponsor: MolocoProducer: FEL Creative

Author Mary Pilon visits Google to discuss her book, "The Monopolists". The book reveals the unknown story of how the classic board game Monopoly came into existence, the reinvention of its history by Parker Brothers and multiple media outlets, the lost female originator of the game, and one man's lifelong obsession to tell the true story about the game's questionable origins. Most people think Monopoly was invented by an unemployed Pennsylvanian who sold his game to Parker Brothers during the Great Depression in 1935 and lived happily--and richly--ever after. That story, however, is not exactly true. Ralph Anspach, a professor fighting to sell his Anti-Monopoly board game decades later, unearthed the real story, which traces back to Abraham Lincoln, the Quakers, and a forgotten feminist named Lizzie Magie who invented her nearly identical Landlord's Game more than thirty years before Parker Brothers sold their version of Monopoly. Her game--underpinned by morals that were the exact opposite of what Monopoly represents today--was embraced by a constellation of left-wingers from the Progressive Era through the Great Depression, including members of Franklin Roosevelt's famed Brain Trust.  A fascinating social history of corporate greed that illuminates the cutthroat nature of American business over the last century, "The Monopolists" reads like the best detective fiction, told through Monopoly's real-life winners and losers.

Ein US-Gericht hat Google als Monopolist bezeichnet und dem Unternehmen vorgeworfen, seine Marktstellung mit hohen Zahlungen gefestigt zu haben. Die Konsequenzen für Google können weitreichend sein. Zunächst möchte Google aber in Berufung gehen. Im Rahmen eines weiteren Gerichtsverfahrens gegen Google in den USA wurde ein internes Strategiepapier als Beweisstück eingereicht, das aus dem Jahr 2017 stammt. Darin wird zum Beispiel die Rolle von Werbung und insbesondere von Display-Werbung für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen kritisch bewertet. Die Google Search Console hat mit "Recommendations" ein neues Feature erhalten. Es zeigt in der Übersicht eine Zusammenfassung verschiedener Empfehlungen.

Google is discontinuing the Google Chromecast  With more than 100 million sold over an 11-year life, it was a good run. It was a great entry level device to very quickly get content onto your TV.  It's being replaced by the Google TV Streamer. It's a device that is designed to sit on your entertainment unit because it also doubles as a full-featured smart speaker with Google Assistant. Think of it more as a "set top box". The extra size means extra connectivity options and power, allowing you to use it as a smart home hub to connect and control your Nest cameras, thermostat, and more.  The TV part of the device runs the latest Android TV operating system and uses Google Gemini AI to provide TV recommendations and help you use your voice to navigate the app.    Google is a monopolist  This is a huge win for the US government who says that Google Search has a monopoly on the market - surprising no one. Google has a 90% share overall, and 95% share on mobile devices.   The judge particularly takes aim at their deal with Apple to make Google the default search engine. Apple and Google would argue that people are going to turn to Google anyway, so why not give it to them up front as the default. It's thought the judge may force those deals to be scrapped but could go so far as to force Google search to be broken out as a separate company.   Commentators say this is a warning to big tech because it says no company is too big to regulate. There's another case pending too, which examines the ads business.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a historic decision this week, a federal judge ruled that Google acted to illegally maintain a monopoly in online search. The case was the first of several antitrust lawsuits the U.S. government has brought against some of the nation's leading tech companies, and the ruling marks a major victory for its efforts to reign in big tech. WSJ's Miles Kruppa explains how this decision could shake up Google's business and potentially change how we search the internet.  Further Reading: -Google's Antitrust Loss Set to Reshape Search and Mobile Industries  -Google Loses Antitrust Case Over Search-Engine Dominance  Further Listening: -Why the DOJ Is Suing Google Again  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Alan and Liz chat about Kara Goucher's recently released book, The Longest Race. They'll tell you what they learned, what they thought, and why they wanted to read the book in the first place.Kara Goucher grew up with Olympic dreams. She excelled at running from a young age and was offered a Nike sponsorship deal when she graduated from college. Then in 2004, she was invited to join a secretive, lavishly funded new team, dubbed the Nike Oregon Project. Coached by distance running legend Alberto Salazar, it seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime. Although Alberto initially let her train with the team because he was more interested in her husband Adam, his focus shifted once she won a World Championship medal. She later went to the Olympics, and stood on the podium at the New York and Boston marathons, just like her coach. Those podiums are what the world saw, but behind the scenes, Salazar pushed the limits of anti-doping rules, and created what Kara experienced as a culture of abuse, the extent of which she reveals in her book for the first time. Meanwhile, Nike stood by Alberto for years and proved itself capable of shockingly misogynistic corporate practices.Kara Goucher is a three-time NCAA champion, two-time Olympian, winner of the silver medal at the 2007 World Championships in the 10,000 meters, and a podium finisher at the Boston and New York Marathons. She is a running analyst for NBC Sports. She cohosts the hit running commentary podcast Nobody Asked Us with Des & Kara, as well as the Clean Sport Collective podcast, promoting fair play in sports. She lives in Boulder, Colorado, with her Olympic-runner husband, Adam, and their son, Colt. Her website is KaraGoucher.com.Mary Pilon is a journalist focused primarily on the worlds of sports and business. She is the author of the bestselling books "The Monopolists" and "The Kevin Show," the co-editor of “Losers: Dispatches From the Other Side of the Scoreboard,” and co-host and co-author of the audio series “Twisted: The Story of Larry Nassar and the Women Who Brought Him Down.” Her work regularly appears in the New Yorker, Esquire, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Vice, New York, and The New York Times, among other publications. She has worked as a producer with NBC at the 2016 Rio Olympics and on HBO's forthcoming documentary “BS High.” She is currently co-directing a documentary about pickleball for Peter Berg's Film 45. Pilon previously was a staff reporter with The Times on the sports desk and at The Wall Street Journal, where she covered various aspects of business and finance. A native of Eugene, Ore., Mary started reporting for her hometown paper, the Register-Guard, as a teenager.If you're interested in getting a copy of this book, you can find it on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.ca/Longest-Race-Inside-Deception-Running/dp/1982179147Support the showAny feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

Christopher England received his Ph.D. from Georgetown in 2015. His research and teaching focus on U.S. social movements, economic thought, and communications. He has taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Loyola University Maryland, and Stanford University. His forthcoming book, Land and Liberty: Henry George and the Crafting of Modern Liberalism, is scheduled to be published by Johns Hopkins University Press in February 2023. Land and Liberty traces the influence of the journalist Henry George, who argued that rising rents were the primary cause of economic inequality. England has been interviewed about his research for the upcoming PBS documentary The Monopolists and for articles in De Correspondent and Reason.  We discuss his book, Land and Liberty. Lars Doucet joins as a cohost for this episode.     

On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop look at conman Sam Bankman-Fried, the scam of FTX, and how regime legitimacy has fueled several fraudulent companies with unprofitable business practices. Did post-2008 monetary policy fuel a bubble in "effective altruism?" Do examples like Elon Musk's restructuring of Twitter offer an illustration of what Big Tech firms will have to do to survive in a time of less-than-easy money, or will the regime bailout the corporate extensions of techno-managerialism? What killed Silicon Valley's once-promising techno-libertarian style? Ryan and Tho look at this and more on this episode of Radio Rothbard. Looking for Christmas gifts?

The Fed raised rates. Then suddenly there was a big sell-off in the markets, adding to Tom's argument that knowing the news cycle in advance has little to no effect on an efficient marketplace. Systems are put in place for a reason. But does that same efficiency push companies to establish monopolies to survive or is this an antiquated remnant of business practices that go back to the Industrial Revolution? Can it even sustain itself in a highly capitalistic world that is rife with competition, and does it even apply to today's modern markets? Tom equates monopolizing an industry as the go-to strategy of the big dumb animal (elephantine monopolies) - and the disruptors are the small but wily field mice. Those creative thinkers and entrepreneurs who live to disrupt and shake up those massive conglomerates to their core. And they often do. Those that try to hoard the entire pie instead of sharing with the masses are setting themselves up for extinction. Those innovators (field mice) will eventually and quite purposefully give them a run for their trillion-dollar money. Is the rate of innovation and subsequent lowering of barriers to entry forcing companies to seek a monopolistic advantage in order to insulate themselves from the competition? Insulation is, at best, a myth and, at worst, a house of cards. Tune in and hear Tom and Dylan figure it all out on this week's episode.

 On the back to the Fed decision to raise interest rates, Tom breaks down why knowing in advance what the Fed would say didn't matter. From there, Tom and Dylan take on whether or not companies have to become monopolies in order to survive. It isn't about dominating a specific business vertical anymore, it's about dominating a sector, like how Amazon dominates in the retail space. If you don't grow your monopolistic advantage, can you survive? Tune into this week's episode with Tom and Dylan

Today Amazon is an inescapable juggernaut. Back in 1994, it was just an idea, pitched by a former Wall Street banker named Jeff Bezos to disbelieving investors at the very birth of the internet era. Reporter Brad Stone, who has spent years chronicling the Amazon story, describes how the company almost flamed out the dot.bomb era and how Bezos rescued the company in part by ginning up two new lines of business – Prime shipping and its digital reader, the Kindle.
