Rather than reducing concentrated market power through “disruption” or “creative destruction,” technological innovation historically has only added to the problem, by awarding monopolies to just one or a few dominant firms. And market forces offer no remedy to the problem; only public policy can provide that.
shows that technological change leads not to disruption, but to deeper, more enduring forms of market power.
The passing of America’s preeminent foreign-policy thinker and practitioner marks the end of an era. Throughout his long and extraordinarily influential career, Henry Kissinger built a legacy that Americans would be wise to heed in this new era of great-power politics and global disarray.

巴黎/迈阿密——7月29日,是危地马拉记者若泽·鲁本·萨莫拉被捕一周年纪念日。作为报纸elPeriódico的创始人兼编辑,萨莫拉耗时数十年揭露政治腐败,后因捏造的洗钱指控而被捕入狱。今年6月,他被判处6年监禁,但检方坚持应判处40年刑期,并预计会因此而提出上诉。检察官表示,更为严厉的惩罚可以补偿那些因萨莫拉及其刊物而“名誉和声誉”受损者的损失。但吓阻其他记者追随萨莫拉的脚步才是他们真正的目的。
检方指控萨莫拉企图进行等值38,000美元的洗钱操作,他接收这笔捐款的目的是作为 elPeriódico的运营经费。1996年,萨莫拉创办了这家报纸,在历经近20年的威胁、恐吓、专制司法程序及网络攻击后,被迫于今年5月停止运营。除萨莫拉外,与该报相关的其他九名记者也被指控妨碍司法公正。出于担心自身安全,他们中的多数人已经逃离出国。萨莫拉的两名律师也被逮捕并以提交非法证据罪而被指控。
今年5月,当无国界记者组织(RSF)派代表设法探访被监禁的萨莫拉时,这位66岁的出版从业者身体和心理看似都十分虚弱。由于被关在一间完全与世隔绝、每天仅有一小时光照的10平米牢房里,他已经减掉了16公斤(合35磅)的体重。在经受了从睡眠不足到牢房虫害等几次身心折磨后,他只相信储存在冰箱里的家人在探视期间所带来的食物。但萨莫拉的妻子和孩子担心可能被捕,因此逃离了危地马拉。
