Chokepoint Capitalism: How Big Tech and Big Content Captured Creative Labor Markets and How We will Win Them Back is a 2022 nonfiction work by Cory Doctorow and Rebecca Giblin that examines how concentrated corporate power reshapes creative industries. Rather than treating publishing, music, news, screenwriting, app development, and live entertainment as separate problems, the book argues that many of them are governed by the same structural logic: firms position themselves between creators and audiences, control access to markets, and use that leverage to capture value that should flow to workers. Its purpose is both diagnostic and practical. The first half explains how chokepoints form through lock-in, scale, and weak competition, while the second half outlines policy and institutional responses that could restore bargaining power to creators. The book is written for readers interested in antitrust, labor rights, digital platforms, and cultural production, and it aims to connect economic theory with concrete reform proposals.
