Technological Monopolization and Politics
Started Feb. 7, 2025
Abstract or project description
(This is my understanding of Ege's project): Ege wants to understand how the monopolization of technology markets brings about various political outcomes. In particular, it enables more authoritarianism. He wants to explain this relationship, and then imagine how things could be better with a more open technology market and more competition and choice among tech products. For now he is focusing on the technology market broadly, but he recognizes that he may need to narrow his focus to more specific markets.
