Powa Technologies Releases World First Ads Recognition Trigger

The Great Fintech Delusion

Contrary to the conventional view of an American and by extension global economy bubbling with innovative small companies, the reality is quite different. Intellectual property, network effects, natural monopolies, expensive R&D, fleets of lawyers to litigate against potential rivals, and armies of lobbyists have created formidable barriers to new entrants to the U.S. and global economy.
