It was an all-skate for Google topics this week on the EDGE.  The EDGE team covered articles from Search Engine Land and Search Engine Journal with a sidebar regarding Shaquille O'Neal's appearance without podium on a Formula 1 race (serious squirrel chasing).

Representative Ken Buck has joined forces with the Democratic congressman David Cicilline and others to push through a package of antitrust legislation that could prove damning to companies like Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook. “As a conservative, I don't think big is bad. I think big is great,” he says. But at the same time, he is quick to clarify that Silicon Valley isn't the land of “benevolent monopolists” and that leaders like Jeff Bezos need to be more transparent about their business practices.In this conversation, Buck discusses how he's moved further than his party on issues of antitrust, and why he — after initially backing the Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn 2020 election results in four battleground states — eventually stepped out against Donald Trump's “Big Lie” of a stolen election.Kara Swisher asks Buck which antitrust bills will survive big tech anti-antitrust lobbying, and whether regulatory agencies like the F.T.C. will actually have the teeth to enforce the proposed laws. They also dig into the Facebook whistle-blower's allegations, as well as conservative claims of social media censorship. And Swisher presses Buck on what he calls the “vigorous debate” within the Republican Party — which Buck says is happening “behind closed doors.”You can find transcripts (posted midday) and more information for all episodes at nytimes.com/sway, and you can find Kara on Twitter @karaswisher.

While we started with the Lawsuits, today I want to take a different look at the concept of Anti-trust, focusing on a place where trust has been broken amongst the entrepreneurial community. Hustle Culture promotes this idea that if you work around the clock and live on 2 hours of sleep a day, the world will be your oyster and you'll be rich, famous and powerful. We now have an entire generation that is living without a safety net and forced into this world of non-stop hustle. In reality, these lies can be destructive - but the results aren't apparent until it's too late. *** This episode is brought to you by: Vidyard: The Top Video Tool for SaaS Marketing and Sales http://vidyard.com/rocketship NetSuite: NetSuite by Oracle is a scalable solution to run all of your key back office operations.

We bring the epic saga of Standard Oil and John D. Rockefeller to a close (for now) with two of history's greatest second acts: Rockefeller's pioneering of modern philanthropy (and really modern life itself), and perhaps the single greatest shareholder value "unlock" of all-time in the breakup of Standard Oil. And like any great American saga, of course the good guys win in the end. The only question is... just who were the good guys??

The lively debate over the future of antitrust law continues. The Neo-Brandeisians want an aggressive, “big is bad” approach. The Chicago School defends the current system and its consumer-welfare standard. Which side has the better of the argument? Could it be that neither does? Aurelien Portuese, Director of ITIF's Schumpeter Project on Competition Policy, joins the show to discuss the problems with antitrust populism, the flaws in the antitrust debate more generally, and his vision for a dynamic antitrust policy centered around innovation. In addition—naturally!—Aurelien has some thoughts to share on the great Joseph Schumpeter, the economist who popularized the term “creative destruction.” Also joining the show is TechFreedom Legal Fellow Andy Jung.

While it may seem that the current foment of change in the antitrust world is unprecedented, this is not the first time that antitrust has undergone a period of profound reexamination and change. What can we learn from previous shifts in antitrust doctrine? Jonathan Baker, law professor at American University and author of The Antitrust Paradigm: Restoring a Competitive Economy, joins Christina Ma and Sergei Zaslavsky to discuss the lessons from the past and what they mean for the current antitrust reform movement. Listen to this podcast for a historical perspective that clarifies the current antitrust debate by placing it in the context of decades-old trends and a political compromise dating back to the 1940s.

Today we're going to explore how the internet has evolved to both democratize access to information, leading to incredible breakthroughs, and be a platform for spreading mass misinformation at rates and scales we've never seen before.  At times, the internet represents the best part of humanity on display. One country releases the genetic sequence of a virus that's spreading globally and scientists around the world get to work creating a never-before-created vaccine using technology that has never been used to produce a vaccine before.  However, it also helped the spread of misinformation about that very vaccine, false information that is preventing almost 30% of the population in the United States from receiving it.  The business of fake news has been around for hundreds of years, but now Google's display ad network allows for these sites to easily monetize the millions of eyeballs searching for answers, especially at an unprecedented time like we're seeing during this ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. And the thing is… it doesn't matter if that eyeball believes what they're reading or if they're reading it in disbelief. If that article is being talked about it's making money. So where do we go from here? That and more in today's episode of Rocketship.fm *** This episode is brought to you by: Vidyard: The Top Video Tool for SaaS Marketing and Sales http://vidyard.com/rocketship NetSuite: NetSuite by Oracle is a scalable solution to run all of your key back office operations.

Technology's rapid advance has undermined society's foundations. As misinformation spreads, privacy vanishes, and counterfeit goods proliferate, science promises us further advances, from stronger artificial intelligence to neuralink implants and quantum computing. More upheaval is on its way. But the same advances that have created these hard problems have also connected people the world over, democratized information access, and let small businesses expand nationally and even globally. And without cutting-edge technologies, we wouldn't have the mRNA vaccines that are helping to curb a global pandemic. This season we're looking at the good, the bad, and the ugly of technology and examining the potential effects of governments attempting to rein in some of the largest companies' global influence. *** This episode is brought to you by: Vidyard: The Top Video Tool for SaaS Marketing and Sales http://vidyard.com/rocketship NetSuite: NetSuite by Oracle is a scalable solution to run all of your key back office operations.

Antitrust policy should favor dynamic, innovation-driven competition, yet antitrust regulators generally don't see it that way. Why is that? Rob and Jackie sat down recently with David Teece, the Thomas W.

Extreme inequality of wealth and income has been identified as a societal failure and a threat to democracy all over the world. Is competition law the cause or the cure for that inequality?

The US government reports that the total spending on hospital care in 2019 was almost $1.2 trillion. High and highly variable hospital prices have been in the news recently in part due to new information made available under the price transparency rules implemented by the Trump administration.Competitive markets are supposed to constrain prices, but in much of the US, there's little competition among hospitals and consolidation throughout the healthcare sector has contributed to that consolidation. The result is a number of proposals to regulate health care prices in general and for hospital prices in particular. Leemore Dafny from the Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School joins Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil to discuss her latest research on hospital prices and market concentration. Dafny and colleagues published a paper in the September 2021 issue of Health Affairs analyzing hospital prices and relating them to market concentration. The authors found the relationship isn't as straightforward as one might expect — but the findings still have major implications for any consideration of regulating hospital prices.

Few revolutions in economics have been as under-covered in general literature as the emergence and development of competition theory and policymaking. Political threats to break up the tech giants or restrain Russian gas pipelines make the headlines while academic lawyers churn out textbooks on 130 years of precedent and practicing lawyers test its limits. What has been missing is an up-to-date, general legislative and intellectual history of how and why politicians, lawyers, and economists in capitalist democracies decided they needed to step in and correct the market. Why did this happen first in the US in that crucial quarter-century preceding the first world war? The Foundations of Antitrust: Events, Ideas, and Doctrines by Gregory Werden (Carolina Academic Press, 2020) fills that gap, examines the overlaps between legal innovation and common law, and busts a few myths en route. From 1977 until his retirement in 2019, Gregory Werden worked in the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice – most recently as Senior Economic Counsel. A PhD economist from the University of Wisconsin, he has published extensively on antitrust policy. *The author's own book recommendation is Trusts: The Recent Combinations in Trade, Their Character, Legality and Mode of Organization, and the Rights, Duties and Liabilities of Their Managers and Certificate Holders by William W Cook (Gale - Making of Modern Law, 2020; originally published by L.
