"Competition Is for Losers".

"If you want to create and capture lasting value, look to build a monopoly, writes Peter Thiel"

But when unions do it, that's bad.

Try to convince someone to intervene in abuse of monopoly by Microsoft, and you'll hear arguments that any kind of intervention would be worse that just leaving them to do what they will. Some more efficient competitor will take care of the problem for you eventually.

But when unions do it, that's bad.

Monopolies are great for the people who run them, that is who Thiel is addressing. No one said they are good for consumers.
