Scholars Strategy Network's No Jargon

Episode 228: The Past and Future of Big Tech


Listen Later

Join us for the official relaunch of the No Jargon Podcast! For our first episode since our eleven-month hiatus, we take on Big Tech and government. Tech giants like Amazon and Facebook have been in the news a lot lately, especially after the House Judiciary Committee approved several antitrust bills this past summer that aim to curb the power of the tech industry. We decided to have a conversation with Margaret O'Mara, a renowned historian who has spent most of her career examining the love/hate relationship between Big Tech and government. Dr. O'Mara shares colorful stories about Silicon Valley – from its early beginnings to the days of the internet boom – all while explaining the Valley's ever-present intersection with US politics. She takes us on a journey through the ups and downs of the intensely eventful relationship between the two.

For more of Margaret O'Mara's work:

  • Read her most recent book The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America.
  • Check out her opinion pieces about the tech industry in The New York Times.
