    What happens to society when machines can do almost everything, and most people no longer need to work? 
    The Age of Abundance is not a book about robots taking jobs. It is a book about what comes after. Drawing on economics, history, and decades of experience at the intersection of finance and technology, Leandro Maya argues that humanity is approaching a transformation unlike anything in recorded history, one that promises extraordinary wealth and devastating disruption in equal measure. 
    At the center of this transformation are two problems that no one is talking about. The ladder problem: automation is eliminating the entry-level positions that have always served as the first rung of career development, cutting off the path before millions of people ever get to climb it. And the purpose problem: when work becomes optional, what gives life meaning? 
    Neither blindly optimistic nor needlessly alarming, The Age of Abundance charts a more honest and more human path through the economic revolution already underway, one that finance professionals, business leaders, and curious minds cannot afford to ignore.

    In recent years, the astronomical rise of tech giants like Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft has been criticized as anticompetitive, and many have wondered if antitrust law can help protect workers and consumers. In Tech Monopoly, Herbert Hovenkamp explores competition problems in a wide range of high-tech firms—from those that sell purely digital products, such as video streaming, search, software, or email services, to others that sell more traditional "tactile" products, such as hardware, clothing, groceries, or rides. He offers a realistic look at the powers and limitations of antitrust law in tech markets with an assessment that is as comprehensive as it is accessible. 
     
     
     
    After a general introduction to antitrust law, Tech Monopoly considers how competitive harm should be assessed in these markets. Then Hovenkamp looks at the role of large digital platforms, including Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft, and considers whether their size alone is an antitrust problem or if the concern should be limited to market power. Finally, the author addresses the very difficult problem of remedies. Should we "break up" big tech, and if so, how? What kind of breakup of these firms would make users or others better off? And if breakups are not the only possible antitrust fix, are there more effective and less disruptive alternatives?
