Below you can find a YouTube version of Episode #31, The Wild World of Surveillance Pricing with Lee Hepner.
Our guest this week explains new forms of price fixing, where algorithms help coordinate price hikes everywhere from meatpacking to retail and potentially every aspect of life involving payment of any kind. Describing how state and federal lawmakers are scrambling to catch up, Lee warns this is part of a dangerous trend towards an economy that is structured by large corporations, solely for their profiteering, at our infinitely increasing expense.
