There are some examples in US where anti-trust has worked, but it was in the context of what you had highlighted in your response. Actually India has anti trust law. MRTP ( Monopoly Restrictive Trade Practices Act ) now known as Competition Act. But I dont see how one can infer that large business houses means there is monopoly. Monopolistic maybe. Like any other economy with greasing of the palms like US. But I see this as classical correlation and causation issues. Are Tatas growing because are huge or are they huge because they are growing ? But if they are monopoly, how come their businesses fail. Edited December 1, 2022 by ravishingravi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, all oligarchs , but just because USA is posing to be a democratic country, they don't get the tag of powerful businessmen, all oligarchs are Russians and East Europeans.

USA is not posing. By every metrics US is a very democratic country. Not perfect but better than the rest. Under_Score 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still talk to friends in India , who drop in mid-conversation that they have 70 people “under“ them. Indian tech still have that class mentality.

Much as I disagreed with Bhattacharya's and the GBD, there was no reason for the govt to censor him. He is a brilliant guy with flawed ideas - like separating children from old people ? Exaggerated risks of childhood vaccines? But if it is true that he was being censored by the govt, that is wrong. But if Twitter was censoring him because Twitter did not believe in his ideas, they were free to do so. Just like Elon and the Musketeers are free to censor brilliant scientists with whom they disagree. They can go play elsewhere. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/jlockdowns/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
