Monopolies cost Americans $300 a month
- RenRav 7y agoI don't understand much of the article, I was mainly looking for a breakdown of how exactly it costs $300 per month. I've never heard of amything similar so I'm curious now. That's a crazy number when for example most basic income proposals are $1000.
- pasttense01 7y agoUnfortunately no discussion of exactly how this $300/month is calculated.
- dredmorbius 7y agoThe authors papers can be traced through Google Scholar and other sources (though giving the specifid study in the OpEd would have been thoughtful). His homepage at NYU Stern does not list recent papers. I suspect this is the paper in question: https://www.nber.org/papers/w24700 https://www.nber.org/papers/w24700
- aiscapehumanity 7y agothey mention the professor stating this, could have at least hyperlinked to his studies that are relevant to the statement. Sigh, bad journalism.
- jmpman 7y agoMy Verizon bill is $200/month and my Internet bill is $150/month, so the numbers seem about right.
