Description
Tom Wheeler's Techlash explores the parallels between the industrial Gilded Age and the digital age, highlighting the need for public interest oversight in the face of entrepreneurial innovation. As technological advancements continue to shape commerce and culture, Wheeler argues that new regulatory ideas are needed to balance innovation with consumer protection and competition. The author draws on his experience at the highest echelons of business and government to create a compelling portrait of the need for agile, supervised, and enforced code setting. By examining the public impact of entrepreneurial innovation, Wheeler calls for a new era of oversight that leaves behind industrial-era regulatory ideas. This book offers a thought-provoking vision for digital governance, one that encourages continued innovation while protecting consumers and competition.
