*Blurb*
My city recently got Uber. And, with that, came an opportunity to investigate the tactics which platform companies like Uber use when they arrive in new locations. How do they use pricing and other methods to stamp out the competition. And, what is the impact of Silicon Valley's monopolisation of the world on global trade.
