Lisa Martin gives her insight into all things tech, starting with clearing dialogue surrounding the TikTok trade talk conundrum and the U.S. goal to chip away Chinese ownership. She notes headwinds ahead for Nvidia (NVDA) as it tackles antitrust conflict in China, though CoreWeave's (CRWV) $6.3 billion contract with the chipmaking giant adds to its strength.

Secondo l’Osservatorio di Unione italiana vini, a luglio il prezzo medio del vino italiano negli Stati Uniti è calato del 13,5% (da 6,52 a 5,64 dollari/litro) per rimanere competitivo nonostante i dazi. Dall’attivazione delle tariffe, i vini italiani hanno subito 61 milioni di dollari di dazi, poco meno della Francia (62,5 milioni). Le imprese italiane stanno assorbendo gran parte dei costi, comprimendo i margini. Uiv denuncia aumenti ingiustificati nei prezzi al dettaglio Usa, frutto di speculazioni su stock pre-dazi. Frescobaldi chiede una promozione straordinaria a partire dal 2026 sui mercati chiave (Usa, Uk, Canada, Brasile). Zoppas (Ice) segnala già 20 iniziative promozionali nel semestre e altre 35 in valutazione. Lollobrigida conferma l’impegno del governo per escludere il vino dai dazi, escludendo misure come gli estirpi. Affrontiamo il tema con Lamberto Frescobaldi, presidente Unione italiana vini (Uiv), e Sandro Boscaini, presidente di Masi Agricola.Trump: c’è accordo con la Cina su TikTok Negli incontri di Madrid tra Usa e Cina è stato raggiunto un accordo quadro su TikTok. Trump ha annunciato che l’intesa sarà completata con Xi Jinping entro il 17 settembre, evitando la chiusura dell’app. Bessent (Tesoro Usa) ha confermato i negoziati. TikTok, di proprietà di ByteDance, è sotto pressione da anni per timori legati a sicurezza nazionale e gestione dei dati. Intanto, l’Antitrust cinese accusa Nvidia di non aver rispettato le condizioni poste nell’acquisizione di Mellanox, aprendo un nuovo fronte nei rapporti economici. Ne parliamo con Alessandro Plateroti, direttore Newsmondo.itL'economia cinese va sempre più pianoAd agosto le vendite al dettaglio in Cina sono cresciute del 3,4% (in calo dal 3,7% di luglio), la produzione industriale al 5,2% (dal 5,7%), mentre la disoccupazione urbana resta al 5,3%. Il rallentamento alimenta il rischio di maggiori esportazioni cinesi in Europa. Il ministro Giorgetti avverte che il vero pericolo per l’Italia non sono i dazi Usa, ma la concorrenza asiatica: l’export italiano verso gli Usa è cresciuto del 6% nel semestre, mentre cala verso la Cina e altri paesi asiatici, che al contrario esportano massicciamente in Europa.Il commento è di Giuliano Noci, professore ordinario al Politecnico di Milano e prorettore del Polo territoriale cinese dell’Ateneo

Gwendolyn Cooley, recent Chair of Attorneys General Antitrust Task Force, discusses state and D.C. AG antitrust enforcement. Using case-specific examples, she explains how state-level AGs often coordinate with federal antitrust authorities, and also independently bring cases of local interest. She also talks about instances where state-level enforcers take enforcement positions that differ from federal authorities. Finally, she comments on the prospects for future state and federal cooperation.

In Episode 438 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Charles Calomiris, former Chief Economist at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, about his forthcoming paper “How Stablecoins Will Transform Banking,” which is based on a presentation he delivered at the Hoover Institution's annual monetary policy conference this past May. Demetri and Charles spend the first hour of their conversation laying out what stablecoins are and why Calomiris believes they are poised to transform our standard units of account through a revolution in real-time payments and a wholesale reinvention of the banking system, monetary policy, and the role of the dollar internationally. They discuss the significance of the recently signed “Genius Act,” explore the importance of bank charter modernization, and consider the broad public benefits of separating loans from deposits—ranging from faster, programmable settlement and greater competition in financial services to a reduction of systemic risk in areas where bank lending has become increasingly overconcentrated. The second hour is devoted to exploring some of the most important short- and long-term implications of stablecoin adoption, including: (1) Antitrust concerns over natural monopolies and network effects in stablecoin payment rails. (2) Near-term boost to demand for U.S. government debt, including the potential issuance of tokenized bills for gross real-time settlement. (3) Longer-term prospect of moving away from the dollar as the primary unit of account toward consumer bundles tied to assets, goods, and services that better reflect people's spending patterns—along with the implications for monetary policy, seigniorage, capital flows, and the preservation of purchasing power in these new currencies.

Innovation is central to long-term economic welfare and deserves greater emphasis in antitrust policy. But can U.S. antitrust law be reshaped to be more innovation-centric? Professor Richard Gilbert joins hosts Anora Wang and Panos Dimitrellos to examine the relationship between competition and innovation, how agencies and courts have recently treated innovation, and practical tools for assessing innovation effects in mergers and conduct cases. Listen to this episode to learn more about navigating the shift toward an innovation-centric antitrust regime, the empirical methods that can reveal innovation harms, and how to balance short-term price effects against long-term technological progress.

Giovedì 2 settembre 2025, un giudice federale USA ha confermato che Google ha abusato del suo monopolio nella ricerca online. Tuttavia, non dovrà vendere né Chrome né Android. Le è stato però vietato di fare accordi esclusivi per far diventare Google Search il motore predefinito e dovrà condividere alcuni dati di ricerca con i concorrenti. Dopo la sentenza, le azioni di Alphabet sono volate e anche Apple (che ha un gigantesco accordo con Google) ne ha tratto vantaggio. Ne abbiamo parlato con Stefania Palma, US legal and enforcement correspondent del Financial Times.

It's been a week for the history books for Google. The tech giant dodged an order to sell off significant parts of its business in a landmark antitrust ruling in the United States. Then, days later, it was hit with a major fine by the EU for monopolising online advertisements. We take a closer look.

Plus, artificial intelligence is generating angst in Silicon Valley.But first, Google's antitrust case over its search business ended this week with a punishment far short of what the government sought. Google could have been forced to sell off its Chrome browser or stop paying Apple and others to make it the default search engine. Instead, a federal judge said all the company has to do is share some of its search data with rivals.Marketplace's Nova Safo spoke with Natasha Mascarenhas, a reporter at The Information, to discuss all of this and more.

Welcome to a special edition of Two Think Minimum, the podcast of the Technology Policy Institute. This podcast is a replay of our August 18th panel discussion on antitrust policy from the 2025 TPI Aspen Forum. The panel covers Biden to Trump 2 asking whether antitrust traded expertise for populism, they hit mergers versus monopolization, politicization, content moderation, fights, and whether any of this will actually stick. The discussion was moderated by TPI President Emeritus and Senior Fellow Tom Lenard, and featured Dennis Carlton from the University of Chicago, Carl Shapiro from UC Berkeley, Howard Shelanski from Georgetown Law, and Christopher Yoo from the University of Pennsylvania.

Google's long-running antitrust case has reached its remedy stage, and the outcome was far lighter than many expected. No breakup, no ban on default search deals, just a few constraints on bundling apps and some required data sharing, but it may not be quite as simple as it seems on the surface.Meanwhile, OpenAI dropped $1.1 billion to acquire Statsig, a product analytics company. What are the details of the deal, and what does it reveal about the future of OpenAI?To top the week off, Y Combinator released its Fall 2025 Request for Startups, and the lineup is surprisingly AI-heavy. Is this really a good indicator of successful startups, or are YC missing the mark with this one? Chris and Yaniv discuss this at length, cutting deeply into why these criteria were chosen, what you should (and shouldn't) listen to, and where founders can looking for investors instead.In this episode, you will:Understand why Google's “light touch” antitrust remedies sent its stock up 8% overnightLearn what OpenAI's Statsig acquisition signals about its long-term strategyExplore why YC's latest startup requests are so heavily AI-focused, and why that's a mistakeCompare today's antitrust rulings with the Microsoft case of the 1990sDiscover how AI may disrupt not just tech, but also government consulting and enterprise softwareGet Yaniv's insider view on why intent-driven marketplaces may be the next frontierThe Pact Honor the Startup Podcast Pact!
