Don't Be Evil
Categories: Business & Money
In Don't Be Evil (2019), Financial Times columnist Rana Foroohar argues that the largest technology companies have grown too powerful and threaten the economy, privacy and democracy. Foroohar traces how firms such as Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple moved from idealistic start-ups to dominant platforms built on collecting personal data. She examines their effects on competition, the media and politics, and calls for new rules on antitrust, data ownership and taxation.

- Fareed Zakaria: “My book of the week is Rana Foroohar's Don't be evil. This is a fascinating highly engaging account of the rise of big technology companies and how they have betrayed their ideals and endangered American democracy.”
