The global battle among the three dominant digital powers―the United States, China, and the European Union―is intensifying. All three regimes are racing to regulate tech companies, with each advancing a competing vision for the digital economy while attempting to expand its sphere of influence in the digital world. Across the globe, people dependent on digital technologies have become increasingly alarmed that their rapid adoption and transformation have ushered in an exceedingly concentrated economy where a few powerful companies control vast economic wealth and political power, undermine data privacy, and widen the gap between economic winners and losers. Anu Bradford, Henry L. Moses Professor of Law and International Organization at Columbia Law School, explores a rivalry that will shape the world in the decades to come and breaks down her highly acclaimed book, "Digital Empires: The Global Battle to Regulate Technology." Professor Bradford speaks with Tim Stenovec and Emily Graffeo on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
