WARREN VS. MISES
In a recent article, the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) examines Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s stance on Apple’s business model, contrasting it with Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises’ free-market approach.
• Sen. Warren has previously criticized Apple for using its App Store to both sell its own products and offer a platform for competitors, arguing this constitutes an unfair monopoly.
• The AIER counters Warren’s view, citing von Mises’ theory that monopolies are natural outcomes in a competitive marketplace.
MAIN TAKEAWAY
• The article suggests that while Warren sees Apple’s business model as anti-competitive and harmful to consumers, von Mises’ theory would argue that Apple’s success is a testament to its superior products and services in a competitive market.
