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.

She has the right approach. The outline of that approach is most important. A very talented individual who will be important for our future for problem-solving.
Great episode, great pod. Eagerly awaiting clarification on this: "Another thing we’re doing this year is providing transcripts and video for every episode. Check your inbox for that soon."
I listened to this one with my dad on a road trip. I'm an Antitrust nerd, but he didn't know Lina before the episode and came away impressed. Thanks for putting this together so that the antimonopoly movement can grow to a larger audience.

It seems incongruous that a government composed primarily of billionaires would be OK with a constraint of their ability to garner more wealth.
I don't think it's an exaggeration to call Lina Khan the Taylor Swift of nerds who care about market concentration. Apparently, even Steve Bannon is a fan boy: “I support Lina Khan, she’s like, my hero,” Bannon said of the former Federal Trade Commission chair, who’d brought antitrust suits against Google and Microsoft."
