| Abstract: |
The article discusses the slowing growth of startup companies and the role played by software. The author argues that larger companies have developed software platforms that deliver important consumer benefits, but that access to such platforms is limited and stifles competition. This leads to a poor market dynamic and slow economic growth. |
