📚 3 Good Articles for You

Efficiency Is the Enemy of Innovation
by Geoffrey James (3 mins)

  • Efficiency in business often leads to profit and power concentration in few corporations, stifling competition and innovation.
  • This dominance by mega-corporations can cause negative impacts such as social unrest, reduced entrepreneurship, and structural fragility.
  • Governments should promote market "resilience" over efficiency, by encouraging competition and reforming anti-monopoly laws to diversify the marketplace.

by Adam Mastroianni (15 mins)
