When Government Works: A Conversation with Lina Khan

Dave Dayen and Matt Stoller sit down to talk about corporate power and the future of antitrust with former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, the leader of the anti-monopoly movement.

Welcome to the podcast Organized Money. You can listen to today’s episode with former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan on Apple, on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What does it look like when government actually works for the people? Matt and David explore this question with Lina Khan, whose groundbreaking tenure as FTC Chair rewrote the playbook for federal agencies.

Khan details how she transformed an understaffed agency into the spearhead of a governance revolution - confronting corporate giants, championing consumer rights, and proving that government can be a powerful force for positive change. We also go into the future of antitrust and what is likely under the coming administration.

Their conversation offers a window into a transformative moment in American governance, where old assumptions about corporate power are being challenged and new possibilities are emerging.
