Table of ContentsReviewsIn an era when tech giants shake the earth like dinosaurs, how should we respond? Amazon merely mentions interest in a sector, and all of the companies there lose 20 percent of their value. Facebook monetizes its users' data like it's a division of the National Security Agency. Geert Noels explains the cure for corporate gigantism. Barry Ritholtz, author of Bailout Nation: How Greed and Easy Money Corrupted Wall Street and Shook the World Economy The 'winner takes all' effect is a hot topic today. However, where most economists are focusing on the impact on margins and profits or productivity, Geert Noels takes a wider look at the impact of large systems on mental well-being, communities, and our climate problems. Pattie Maes, founder of MIT Media Lab's Fluid Interfaces Group In an age when bigger is assumed to be better, Geert Noels warns of the perils of size - and makes a convincing case for the benefits of going small. Not only is small beautiful; it is also more economically viable in the long run. Do yourself a big favour and read Capitalism XXL. Eric Weiner, author of The Geography of Genius: Lessons from the World's Most Creative Places Author InformationGeert Noels is a macro-economist, frequent commentator on financial and economic topics, and co-founder of Econopolis.
