@markstahl @parismarx Google and Amazon are good at what they do - but its the old story of do you want an economy of monopolies or lots of competing companies. Monopolies get so big they can't resist controlling the market for their own benefit ie profit and are less likely to innovate. New market entrants with less money get crushed or bought out and then shut down. Its all in any economics textbook, but just being played out in cyber space this time.
