From Adam Smith's foundational theories to Marx's critique of capital concentration and Schumpeter's creative destruction, this book traces the evolution of market forces across history and into the modern age. Examining monopolies of the Gilded Age, the dominance of Big Tech, and the precarious labor of the gig economy, it provides a rigorous analysis of capitalism's dual nature. Through multidisciplinary insights-economics, history, sociology, and policy-it proposes actionable frameworks to restructure markets for sustainability, innovation, and equity. This is essential reading for those seeking to understand the dynamics of competition, the pitfalls of unchecked power, and the pathways toward a balanced economic future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Martin Beahm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798303980006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Joseph Martin Beahm","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48588076876031,"sku":"9798303980006","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-competitive-edge-joseph-martin-beahm-9798303980006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
