In 2012, when the Justice Department sued Apple and five book publishers for price fixing, many observers sided with the defendants. It was a reminder that, in practice, Americans are ambivalent about competition. Chris Sagers shows why protecting price competition, even when it hurts some of us, is crucial if antitrust law is to preserve markets.

"FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING BIOGRAPHIES OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND ALBERT EINSTEIN, THIS IS THE EXCLUSIVE BIOGRAPHY OF STEVE JOBS. Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years--as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues--Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted. Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple's hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values"--

Il y a vingt ans Apple entamait avec le retour de Steve Jobs sa seconde vie. Google et Amazon étaient des start-up et Facebook n'existait pas. Vingt ans après, les GAFA font partie des entreprises les plus puissantes au monde. N'avons-nous pas fait preuve de naïveté face à ces jeunes pousses qui se réclamaient de la liberté d'entreprendre et de l'innovation ? Peut-on encore lutter contre ces empires plébiscités par les consommateurs et aux ambitions sans limite ? Joëlle Toledano montre dans ce livre comment les GAFA arrivent à s'extraire du droit commun, à verrouiller la concurrence, à définir leurs propres règles en s'appuyant sur l'efficacité des outils numériques.Dénonçant notre retard face à ces entreprises sophistiquées et agiles, elle nous exhorte à comprendre ce nouveau monde et à reprendre l'initiative. La transformation numérique est rapide, bouleverse les chaînes de valeur. Les intérêts de court terme sont souvent opposés à ceux de long terme, d'où les difficultés à définir l'intérêt général. Donnons-nous les moyens de fabriquer les institutions du XXIe siècle au service du bien commun !
