The Topic is:
Authors like Simoulidis and Birch as well as Davis have argued that recent corporate
transformations have introduced new dynamics of corporate power which include
phenomena like the rise of so-called “Big Tech” firms, increasing inequality and new
ways of externalizing costs. Write an essay discussing whether and how these
developments require us to develop new ways of thinking about market power and
industry concentration and whether policies that try to fix markets (like restoring
competition) or some alternative approach to regulation is the best response.
