Intellectual monopoly capitalism How big tech companies became the world's largest planners

Contemporary leading corporations, from big pharma and big tech to less-known cases such as BlackRock and State Grid Corporation of China, are intellectual monopolies that base their power on the systematic concentration (and predation) of knowledge turned into intangible assets. By monopolising access to society’s knowledge, these companies’ capacity to plan portions of capitalism exceeds their legally owned assets. This seminar will elaborate on the emergence of intellectual monopolies, focusing on the specificities of big tech companies as data-driven intellectual monopolies planning every sphere of capitalism. In this IIPP Seminar Series talk chaired by Head of Research Dr Antonio Andreoni, Cecilia Rikap talks about her research on 'Intellectual monopoly capitalism: How big tech companies became the world's largest planners' with a discussion from Fausto Gernone, IIPP PhD student.
