The Age of Extraction: How Tech Platforms Conquered the Economy and Threaten Our Future Prosperity
In partnership with the ACLU of Southern California
Tim Wu
in conversation with Mohammad Tajsar
Tim Wu, author, policy advocate, and professor at Columbia University, and Mohammad Tajsar, senior staff attorney at the ACLU of Southern California, join to discuss Wu’s new book The Age of Extraction. The book investigates how today’s dominant platforms manipulate attention, extract wealth, and deepen inequality. Wu urges us to recognize their influence and reclaim control to create a balanced economy that works for all.
“A sharp and eye-opening introduction to how we arrived at platform capitalism—where no good click goes unmonetized.” — Kirkus Reviews
