I work for Google, opinions are my own.
Have there been any studies or anything on how having or breaking up large companies affects a country's competitiveness on a global scale? I feel like an extremely large company may be more competitive but this may come at the expense of other companies in the same or other industries.
FWIW I personally agree with using antitrust to break up companies that don't harm consumers despite currently benefiting from the system.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoI am not sure if fear of China is an adequate justification to allow rampant misconduct of a corporation here. Consider that we could just the same argue that having a minimum wage that's (still woefully inadequate, but higher than China) also significantly harms the competitiveness of our country's competitiveness in many industries on the global stage. It would probably be better to deal with issues of other country's power via trade agreements and political pressure.
