Marketplace (PM)

  • Kai talks to Kristin Toussaint, a staff editor at Fast Company…about the magazine’s investigation on CEO pay.
  • We are in month two of arguably the most important antitrust trial of the 21st century, United States vs. Google LLC. You can kind of sum up the heart of the federal government’s case in one word: Default. DOJ says Google paid Apple and other companies billions of dollars annually to be the default search engine on your iPhone and other devices, because defaults would keep out competition. Google says it’s just better, and if consumers really want to use some other search engine, nothing’s stopping them. But how often do you really change the defaults on…anything? Marketplace’s Matt Levin is on the consumer inertia beat today.
