This book will summarize what we know about technology and inequality
across disciplines, and seek out new ways to analyze this relationship
based on technology and business practices, with the objective of
restoring digital technology as an engine of opportunity. Besides the
unique focus on the role of technology in inequality, the book will
have a unifying theme of tracing wealth creation and wealth capture in
the technology sector, and relating specific practices—what
technology companies actually do—to larger shifts in wealth and
power. A clear conceptual framework will be used to analyze key
industry case studies: search engines, social media, and the
‘sharing’ economy.
