Microsoft Rocks feat. Rob Larson

This week we're talking tech monopolies and the ways in which Gates and Bezos used public research to become this century's dumber Carnegie and Vanderbilt. Listen to Riley, Milo, and Alice discuss it with Rob Larson (@IronicProfessor), and rejoice in the knowledge that everything you've ever done with a PC was planned out by dudes in rocking chairs for some reason.

Check out Rob's Book Capitalism vs. Freedom: the Toll Road to Serfdom, out from Zer0 Books. Get it here: https://www.johnhuntpublishing.com/zer0-books/our-books/capitalism-freedom
