Virtual business is here to stay. But it has a dark side. The book Internet Empire: The Hidden Digital War explains how the internet expansion of US companies has been like that of traditional empire building from an economic perspective. Arguing from detailed analysis of the origins of the internet, the cross-border nature of internet products and the economic nature of war, the author shows how the rise of internet platforms has been a mixed blessing. He then shares ways that we can change our own behavior to make the internet economy better for our individual and collective future.

 

In this comprehensive book written by an internationally recognised expert, you'll learn:

• How the internet businesses maintain their commanding market strength, and the hidden ways they earn profits

• Why governments are constrained in managing digital stakeholders, especially with supranational concentrated markets

• What ways that internet business expansion has economic parallels with empire building

• What we can do to maintain our internet freedom, based on 15 tested principles
