The Profit Paradox: How Thriving Firms Threaten the Future of Work is an economics book by Jan Eeckhout that examines the rise of market power in modern economies and its consequences for workers, consumers, and democratic institutions. Drawing on research in industrial organization, labor economics, and macroeconomics, Eeckhout argues that many large firms have become highly productive while also becoming more able to set prices, suppress wages, and capture a disproportionate share of the gains from technological progress. The book is not a general history of capitalism or a textbook survey; it is a focused analysis of why profits have risen even as wage growth has stagnated in many sectors. Its purpose is to show that stronger technology does not automatically translate into broadly shared prosperity when competition weakens. The book also considers policy responses, making it relevant to readers interested in antitrust, labor markets, inequality, and the design of a healthier market economy.
