Beware Of Politicians Trying To Rescue You From Technology Companies (From RealClearMarkets)
Paul Steidler
December 17th, 2020
During the pandemic America’s large technology companies have been critical to the economy while providing significant health and safety benefits. If America did not have the services of our large technology companies, we would hear calls for the government to invest tens of billions of taxpayer dollars to invent them. Instead, there are now aggressive antitrust actions against these companies by elected officials and central bureaucrats that pose major risks to the engine of our economy and our health and safety. I have written a commentary for RealClearMarkets here.
