就在兩天前,美聯儲聲明停止加息,並將在9月份停止鎖表進程,市場歡騰不已。然而就在投資者歡慶「水牛」之時,歐洲經濟的中流砥柱德國製造業PMI跌破榮枯線,美股轉身暴跌……
於是大家展開聯想:美聯儲停止緊縮政策恐怕是要應對經濟衰退了~

原題:Here’s how we can break up Big Tech
翻譯:雷公

Twenty-five years ago, Facebook, Google, and Amazon didn’t exist. Now they are among the most valuable and well-known companies in the world. It’s a great story — but also one that highlights why the government must break up monopolies and promote competitive markets.
25年前,Facebook、Google和Amazon還不存在。現在他們是世界上最有價值和最知名的公司。這是一個偉大的故事——但這也突顯出爲什麼政府必須打破壟斷,促進競爭市場。
In the 1990s, Microsoft — the tech giant of its time — was trying to parlay its dominance in computer operating systems into dominance in the new area of web browsing. The federal government sued Microsoft for violating anti-monopoly laws and eventually reached a settlement. The government’s antitrust case against Microsoft helped clear a path for Internet companies like Google and Facebook to emerge.
上世紀90年代,當時的科技巨頭微軟(Microsoft)試圖將其在電腦操作系統領域的絕對優勢,轉化為網絡瀏覽時代的主導地位。聯邦政府起訴微軟違反反壟斷法,最終達成和解。政府對微軟的反壟斷訴訟爲Google和Facebook等互聯網公司的崛起掃清了道路。
The story demonstrates why promoting competition is so important: it allows new, groundbreaking companies to grow and thrive — which pushes everyone in the marketplace to offer better products and services. Aren’t we all glad that now we have the option of using Google instead of being stuck with Bing?
這個故事說明了爲什麼促進競爭如此重要:它允許新的、開創性的公司成長和繁榮——向市場上的每個人提供更好的產品和服務。我們是不是都很樂於選擇使用Google而不是被迫要使用Bing呢?
