Topics
Kara Swisher: 默多克家族的继承纠纷的核心是默多克试图更改继承条款，让其政治立场相近的儿子Lachlan获得家族媒体帝国的绝对控制权。这引发了其他子女和投资者的强烈不满，并引发了关于媒体所有权和家族财富分配的广泛讨论。此事件也凸显了富人家庭中常见的财富分配问题以及权力交接的复杂性。 Scott Galloway: 默多克试图更改不可撤销信托的条款，将投票权集中于一人之手，这违背了信托的不可撤销性原则。他需要说服法官，其其他子女不适合担任信托受托人，才能成功更改信托条款。这背后是政治动机，即确保其资产由政治立场更为保守的人控制。整个事件中，法律程序的透明度也受到质疑。 Scott Galloway: 谷歌的反垄断案涉及谷歌在其广告业务中使用垄断手段抬高价格，损害了消费者利益。公众对科技巨头的垄断行为越来越不满，司法观点的变化也增加了谷歌败诉的可能性。对谷歌的处罚措施可能包括罚款、拆分公司或行为限制，但政府可能缺乏对谷歌算法和商业模式进行调整和监管的专业知识。拆分大型科技公司通常会促进市场竞争和创新，但最终结果仍存在不确定性。
