Sharon Zukin goes into discussion about Westchester County and its increase in size, jobs, and etc. due to corporations and malls expanding into Westchester’s post-industrial suburban landscape. He goes into detail about Westchester going into business by opening up more jobs and providing more opportunities to people who need jobs. However, the irony with this is that even though job opportunities are popping up here and there, the pay is still miniscule. People who live in Westchester and commute to NYC for work make a larger income than people who work in Westchester. So in a way, corporations in Westchester have successfully made it into a somewhat economic county, but on the flip side, the pay isn’t that great.
Westchester County exemplifies how corporations are a monopoly and don’t give little companies any room to breath and they barely get by. Companies such as Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo are the leading corporations in the video gaming industry that such game consoles such as the Jaguar, Dreamcast, and 32X run out of business because larger corporations take up all the profits and run the other companies out of business. It seems as if the world is trying to go with this idea and basically run other companies out of business and make their own company the only one and the top one. To an extent, a little bit of competition is a good thing because it would force people to make better things, but at the same time, it could get out of hand and cause our whole economy to collapse back to the stone age. Who knows?
