In \u003ci\u003eThe Tyranny of Big Tech\u003c\/i\u003e, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri argues that these mega-corporations--controlled by the robber barons of the modern era--are the gravest threat to American liberty in decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To reverse course, Hawley argues, we must correct progressives' mistakes of the past. That means recovering the link between liberty and democratic participation, building an economy that makes the working class strong, independent, and beholden to no one, and curbing the influence of corporate and political elites. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Big Tech and its allies do not deal gently with those who cross them, and Senator Hawley proudly bears his own battle scars. But hubris is dangerous. The time is ripe to overcome the tyranny of Big Tech by reshaping the business and legal landscape of the digital world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJosh Hawley\u003c\/b\u003e is a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e best-selling author, constitutional lawyer, and U.S. Senator for the state of Missouri.
