@jbarro Have tech firms really capture most of the "excess value"? It seems like a company like Google has created a lot of benefits for users even beyond what it has monetized.

Laureen and I are shocked and heartbroken to learn of the sudden passing of Nigel Wright.
A unique and deeply accomplished person, Nigel combined intellectual acumen with incredible capacity for work.
Nigel loved his country and believed in the value of public service, having twice served in the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada, including as my Chief of Staff. He was also a man of faith who cared about his fellow citizens and generously supported a range of philanthropic causes throughout his life.
Nigel was truly a special person whom we have lost far too soon. Our condolences to his family and many friends, both in Canada and around the world.
