They have proceeded on this basis to discipline their business activities with unprecedented financial penalties and other regulatory obligations. This “techlash” is the subject of this book. Proceeding from the observation that big tech firms engage in both monopoly and oligopoly competition across digital markets, the book introduces a theory of moligopoly competition. It suggests that rivalry-spirited antitrust and regulatory laws are both conceptually and methodologically impervious to the competitive pressure that bears on big tech firms, resulting in a risk of well-intended but irrelevant policy intervention. The book proposes a refocusing of competition policy towards certain types of tipped markets where digital firms extract monopoly rents, and careful adoption of regulation toward other social harms generated by big tech’s business models. 000048055 588__ $$aOnline resource 000048055 650_0 $$aMonopolies. 000048055 650_4 $$aInternet industry$$xLaw and legislation. 000048055 650_0 $$aInternet industry. 000048055 650_0 $$aCompetition. 000048055 650_0 $$aElectronic commerce. 000048055 650_4 $$aInternet industry$$xLaw and legislation 000048055 650_0 $$aInternet$$xLaw and legislation. 000048055 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198837701.001.0001$$yView eBook 000048055 903__ $$aOxford Academic 000048055 904__ $$aJournal article 000048055 980__ $$aOS
