Valente discusses the rise of platforms as key players in different social activities, from economy to culture and politics. These companies have a daily presence in the lives of the majority of the world population, from social interactions to digital payments and transactions. They are gaining a central role in neoliberal capitalism, shaping contemporary sociability. The book shows how these platforms work and identifies the hidden interests behind the commercial strategies that guide the development of services offered to Internet users. It takes the specific cases of Google and Facebook and presents its historical development, illustrating how these companies turned into major players in our times.New scholarship in political economy ;Volume 10.Internet industryPolitical aspectsInternet industryPolitical aspects.338.47004678Valente Jonas Chagas Lúcio1482860MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910795245903321From online platforms to digital monopolies3700772UNINA02796oam 2200673I 450 991096542400332120251117093011.01-135-09948-01-283-94171-60-203-07243-X1-135-09949-910.4324/9780203072431 (CKB)2670000000315460(EBL)1108516(OCoLC)823719244(SSID)ssj0000866901(PQKBManifestationID)11541513(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000866901(PQKBWorkID)10879773(PQKB)10124965(OCoLC)846969627(MiAaPQ)EBC1108516(Au-PeEL)EBL1108516(CaPaEBR)ebr10682802(CaONFJC)MIL425421(FINmELB)ELB134072(EXLCZ)99267000000031546020180706d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrBertrand Russell's America his transatlantic travels and writings : a documented account.
