| Not "Gotcha Capitalism," just "dishonest"
The book's title implies that there's something wrong with our capitalist economy that requires the government to punish all large companies for the sins of some. These hidden fees are either fraudulent, a breach of contract, or completely legal.
The underlying problem is that these telecom companies have been given monopolies by federal, state or local governments. The grocery store doesn't charge you a "supplier surcharge," because if they did, you would buy the same product from a competitor for a lower price. |
