Episode 150: What’s All the Fuss About Antitrust?

Antitrust has escaped the business section and become a major topic of conversation in households across America. If you plan to attend a summer concert, buy groceries, or even listen to this episode on your phone, antitrust could have a real impact on your day-to-day life. Recent high-profile cases and notable agency actions have garnered commentary from supporters and skeptics alike. Elizabeth Binczik speaks with Sandeep Vaheesan of Open Markets Institute about the competing views on the FTC’s and DOJ’s recent actions and what this period means for antitrust.
