  A call to action for the creative class and labor movement to rally against the power of Big Tech and Big Media 
  Corporate concentration has breached the stratosphere, as have corporate profits. An ever-expanding constellation of industries are now monopolies (where sellers have excessive power over buyers) or monopsonies (where buyers hold the whip hand over sellers)—or both. 
  In Chokepoint Capitalism, scholar Rebecca Giblin and writer and activist Cory Doctorow argue we’re in a new era of “chokepoint capitalism,” with exploitative businesses creating insurmountable barriers to competition that enable them to capture value that should rightfully go to others. All workers are weakened by this, but the problem is especially well-illustrated by the plight of creative workers. From Amazon’s use of digital rights management and bundling to radically change the economics of book publishing, to Google and Facebook’s siphoning away of ad revenues from news media, and the Big Three record labels’ use of inordinately long contracts to up their own margins at the cost of artists, chokepoints are everywhere. 
  By analyzing book publishing and news, live music and music streaming, screenwriting, radio and more, Giblin and Doctorow deftly show how powerful corporations construct “anti-competitive flywheels” designed to lock in users and suppliers, make their markets hostile to new entrants, and then force workers and suppliers to accept unfairly low prices. 
  In the book’s second half, Giblin and Doctorow then explain how to batter through those chokepoints, with tools ranging from transparency rights to collective action and ownership, radical interoperability, contract terminations, job guarantees, and minimum wages for creative work.

  Organizations have more data at their fingertips than ever, and their ability to put that data to productive use should be a key source of sustainable competitive advantage. Yet, business leaders looking to tap into a steady and manageable stream of "actionable insights" often, instead, get blasted with a deluge of dashboards, chart-filled slide decks, and opaque machine learning jargon that leaves them asking, "So what?" 
   
   
   
  Analytics the Right Way is a guide for these leaders. It provides a clear and practical approach to putting analytics to productive use with a three-part framework that brings together the realities of the modern business environment with the deep truths underpinning statistics, computer science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The result: a pragmatic and actionable guide for delivering clarity, order, and business impact to an organization's use of data and analytics. 
   
   
   
  The book uses real-world examples from the authors' direct experiences—working inside organizations, as external consultants, and as educators—to empower the listener to put foundational analytical and statistical concepts to effective use in a business context.

  First of all, you don’t need a college degree or a real estate license. Many people believe you have to pass tests and get a license if you want to be an agent or broker. That’s not true. In fact, getting your real estate license may actually limit your ability to make better deals. When you are licensed, you are held to certain standards that may impede your investment success. 
  Another major myth is about debt. Debt is a tool that can be used for good or bad. Some people think all debt is bad, but again, it’s not true. Debt can be helpful in expanding an economy and raising standards of living. Even companies with a lot of cash on hand sometimes choose to use debt. 
  The biggest mental block that keeps people from real estate investing is the myth that they need piles of money to get started. To overcome this roadblock, start by learning all about how investing works and building your self-confidence as an investor.
