On January 19th, Coil hosted a YouTube Live conversation in collaboration with Internet Archive.

During the hour-long discussion, journalist Brad Stone, author of The Everything Store and Amazon Unbound, interviewed Cory Doctorow and Rebbeca Giblin, authors of Chokepoint Capitalism. The three discuss the challenges creators are facing in the creative labor market and how to move toward a more equitable and sustainable creative ecosystem in the face of Big Tech and Big Content.

During the conversation, you'll learn:

• What chokepoint capitalism is and how it rigs the system against creators
• The impact of Big Tech and Big Content monopolies and monopsonies on the creative labor market
• Potential individual and systemic solutions for a more fair and equitable creative ecosystem

Check out the full conversation, then get your copy of Chokepoint Capitalism from Better World Books or wherever books are sold.
