Mark Meador is the newest commissioner on the Federal Trade Commission, which plays a dual role: enforcing both antitrust and consumer protection laws. It also serves as America's de facto technology regulator, including overseeing digital privacy and cybersecurity issues.Commissioner Meador embodies the political realignment reshaping conservative views on big business, capitalism, and free trade. The Trump Administration's antitrust cases against Big Tech represent arguably the clearest expression of this shift. While the Biden administration aggressively targeted mergers and acquisitions—Wall Street's bread and butter—many financial elites hoped Donald Trump's return would restore a laissez-faire approach to antitrust. They've been in for disappointment.A recent speech by Meador laid out a conservative vision for antitrust, challenging long-held Republican Party orthodoxies and sparking backlash from libertarians. He joins Evan to discuss the tensions at the heart of the this realignment: how free-market principles can coexist with robust antitrust enforcement; how skeptics of big government find common cause with critics of big business; and how conservatives are crafting their own distinctive approach to antitrust while embracing the bipartisan consensus that has emerged over the past eight years.

(0:00) Intro(1:26) About the podcast sponsor: The American College of Governance Counsel(2:13) Start of interview(2:45) Robin's origin story(3:55) About the AI Law and Innovation Institute.(5:02) On AI governance: "AI is critical for boards, both from a risk management perspective and from a regulatory management perspective." Boards should: 1) Get regular updates on safety and regulatory issues, 2) document the attention that they're paying to it to have a record of meaningful oversight, and 3) Most importantly, boards can't just rely on feedback from the folks in charge of the AI tools. They need a red team of skeptics.(9:58) Boards and AI Ethics. Robin's Rules of Order for AI. Rule #1: Distinguish Real-time Dangers from Distant Dangers(15:21) Antitrust Concerns in AI(18:10) Geopolitical Tensions in AI Race (US v China). "Winning the AI race is essential for the US, both from an economic and from a national security perspective."(23:30) Regulatory Framework for AI "It really isn't one size fits all for AI regulation. Europe, for the most part, is a consumer nation of AI. We are a producer nation of AI, and California in particular is a producer of AI."

All too often, capitalism is identified with the for-profit sector. However, one organizational form whose importance is often overlooked is nonprofits. Roughly 4% of the American economy, including most universities and hospital systems, are nonprofit.One prominent nonprofit currently at the center of a raging debate is OpenAI, the $300 billion American artificial intelligence research organization best known for developing ChatGPT. Founded in 2015 as a donation-based nonprofit with a mission to build AI for humanity, it created a complex “hybrid capped profit” governance structure in 2019. Then, after a dramatic firing and re-hiring of CEO Sam Altman in 2023 (covered on an earlier episode of Capitalisn't: “Who Controls AI?”), a new board of directors announced that achieving OpenAI's mission would require far more capital than philanthropic donations could provide and initiated a process to transition to a for-profit public benefit corporation. This process has been fraught with corporate drama, including one early OpenAI investor, Elon Musk, filing a lawsuit to stop the process and launching a $97.4 billion unsolicited bid for OpenAI's nonprofit arm.Beyond the staggering valuation numbers at stake here–not to mention OpenAI's open pursuit of profits over the public good–are complicated legal and philosophical questions. Namely, what happens when corporate leaders violate the founding purpose of a firm? To discuss, Luigi and Bethany are joined by Rose Chan Loui, the founding executive director of the Lowell Milken Center on Philanthropy and Nonprofits at UCLA Law and co-author of the paper "Board Control of a Charity's Subsidiaries: The Saga of OpenAI.” Is OpenAI a “textbook case of altruism vs. greed,” as the judge overseeing the case declared? Is AI for everyone, or only for investors? Together, they discuss how money can distort purpose and philanthropy, precedents for this case, where it might go next, and how it may shape the future of capitalism itself.Show Notes:Read extensive coverage of the Musk-OpenAI lawsuit on ProMarket, including Luigi's article from March 2024: “Why Musk Is Right About OpenAI.”Guest Disclosure (provided to The Conversation for an op-ed on the case): The authors do not work for, consult, own shares in, or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article. They have disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.

Send us a textCorporate governance. Those two words alone can make even the most confident entrepreneur break out in a cold sweat. But what if I told you it doesn't have to be complicated, boring, or something only Fortune 500 companies need to worry about?My conversation with corporate governance consultant Anoushka from Marcelino Marie Solutions completely transformed my understanding of this critical business function. Far from being a bureaucratic burden, governance is simply about having documented systems for decision-making. "Think about corporate governance. Just reduce it down to what is the system that you have in place to make decisions," Anoushka explains, cutting through the intimidation factor immediately.The reality is that every business faces risks - whether it's half your team getting sick (hello, pandemic lessons), your payroll manager suddenly quitting, or having too many key employees traveling on the same plane. Having simple, clear processes documented before emergencies strike can mean the difference between a minor hiccup and a business-ending catastrophe. And the documentation doesn't need to be complex - in fact, simpler is better when it comes to creating systems people will actually use.Anoushka recommends starting with whatever keeps you up at night. Is it financial reporting? Employee turnover? Safety concerns? Begin there, document your process clearly, and build from there. The key is taking baby steps rather than trying to create comprehensive governance structures overnight. Even better, leverage your team's expertise and use tools like AI to help maintain and retrieve your documentation when needed.Whether you're a solo entrepreneur or leading a growing team, this episode offers practical guidance for creating the governance foundation your business needs to weather unexpected challenges and scale successfully. Listen now, and turn what seems intimidating into your competitive advantage.

Il piano di riarmo europeo arriva sul tavolo dei ministri delle Finanze del blocco, dopo il via libera dei leader europei al summit di Bruxelles del 6 marzo. E il primo confronto è proprio sugli strumenti da mettere in campo, al centro della cena informale tra i ministri dell Ecofin, seguita da uno scambio sulle regole fiscali, su come usare cioè la flessibilità del Patto. Con il ministro Giancarlo Giorgetti che porta ai colleghi Ue la proposta italiana, che non vuole definirsi solo come un idea per la difesa, ma anche per la sicurezza e la protezione. E soprattutto cerca di catalizzare gli investimenti privati: una Iniziativa Europea per la Sicurezza e l Innovazione Industriale , è il nome del documento presentato ai colleghi dal ministro italiano.L Italia vuole richiamare l attenzione a non guardare solo agli interventi tramite nuovo debito a sostegno degli investimenti nella difesa. Da un lato perché ritiene serva una visione di economie sostenibili a lungo termine e dall altro perché è particolarmente importante per Paesi come l Italia impegnati in uno sforzo di riduzione del proprio debito. L idea sarebbe così quella di rafforzare la componente degli Stati membri nell InvestEu, migliorando l efficacia delle garanzie Ue per attrarre capitali privati. Il rafforzamento di InvestEU è già tra le proposte della Commissione."La proposta italiana è stata accolta favorevolmente ieri, ora andrà discussa con la Commissione europea ma dal punto di vista della presidenza Ue il messaggio è che ci serve una forte Unione dei mercati dei capitali per finanziare queste nuove necessità". Lo ha detto il ministro delle Finanze polacco Andrzej Domanski, alla presidenza di turno Ue, in conferenza stampa al termine del Consiglio Ecofin. Sono intervenuti a Focus Economia Adriana Cerretelli, editorialista Il Sole 24 Ore e Raul Caruso, Professore di Economia della pace in Università Cattolica.Trump, escalation con il Canada: raddoppia i dazi su alluminio e acciaio. Ma le aziende Usa sono preoccupateTrump non molla e anzi rilancia la guerra commerciale con il Canada. «Ho incaricato il segretario al Commercio di aggiungere un altro 25% di dazi, portandoli al 50%, su tutto l acciaio e l alluminio provenienti dal Canada», ha scritto il presidente degli Stati Uniti su Truth. I nuovi dazi «saranno effettivi da domani».Il presidente americano afferma che la misura è una risposta alla mossa dello stato canadese dell Ontario che «ha imposto tariffe del 25% sull elettricità che va negli Usa», una mossa che era a sua volta la risposta ai dazi imposti da Trump. L Ontario fornisce l energia elettrica a tre importanti Stati americani: Minnesota, Michigan e New York.Marco Valsania, Il Sole 24 Ore, è intervenuto ai microfoni di Sebastiano Barisoni.Mancanza di credito alle imprese e fuga di capitali zavorra del PILIl risiko del settore bancario ha riacceso le preoccupazioni delle imprese sull accesso al credito. Il timore è che banche più grandi e lontane dal territorio siano meno interessate a prestare liquidità alle piccole imprese, che pur rappresentano il cuore del nostro apparato produttivo. I processi di fusione possono portare a una concentrazione del rischio e a una conseguente riduzione del credito. Neppure una puntigliosa attività delle autorità volta a tutelare la concorrenza riesce ad affrontare pienamente il problema.Tuttavia, la questione dell accesso al credito, che risulta fondamentale per la crescita economica, in Italia ha una portata ben più ampia di quella legata alle aggregazioni bancarie e rasenta un emergenza nazionale. Da un lato, infatti, negli ultimi quindici anni le banche italiane, che pure si sono molto rafforzate in termini organizzativi, reddituali e patrimoniali, hanno operato una drastica riduzione delle loro erogazioni alle imprese che ha pochi paragoni con gli altri principali paesi. Dall altra, la dimensione microscopica delle nostre aziende e l arretratezza del nostro mercato dei capitali faticano a far nascere strumenti e operatori non bancari che possano finanziare le imprese. La necessità di contrastare il sottosviluppo e la frammentazione del mercato dei capitali europei è stato oggetto della conferenza internazionale promossa da Assonime in collaborazione con l Organizzazione per la cooperazione e lo sviluppo economico su Corporate Governance and capital market for competitive and sustainable Europe che si è tenuta oggi a Milano a Palazzo Mezzanotte, con il supporto di Borsa Italiana.Il commento di Stefano Firpo, direttore generale di Assonime.

This week, Elon Musk—amidst his other duties of gutting United States federal government agencies as head of the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE)—announced a hostile bid alongside a consortium of buyers to purchase control of OpenAI for $97.4 billion. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman vehemently replied that his company is not for sale.The artificial intelligence landscape is shifting rapidly. The week prior, American tech stocks plummeted in response to claims from Chinese company DeepSeek AI that its model had matched OpenAI's performance at a fraction of the cost. Days before that, President Donald Trump announced that OpenAI, Oracle, and Softbank would partner on an infrastructure project to power AI in the U.S. with an initial $100 billion investment. Altman himself is trying to pull off a much-touted plan to convert the nonprofit OpenAI into a for-profit entity, a development at the heart of his spat with Musk, who co-founded the startup.Bethany and Luigi discuss the implications of this changing landscape by reflecting on a prior Capitalisn't conversation with Luigi's former colleague Sendhil Mullainathan (now at MIT), who forecasted over a year ago that there would be no barriers to entry in AI. Does DeepSeek's success prove him right? How does the U.S. government's swift move to ban DeepSeek from government devices reflect how we should weigh national interests at the risk of hindering innovation and competition? Musk has the ear of Trump and a history of animosity with Altman over the direction of OpenAI. Does Musk's proposed hostile takeover signal that personal interests and relationships with American leadership will determine how AI develops in the U.S. from here on out? What does regulating AI in the collective interest look like, and can we escape a future where technology is consolidated in the hands of the wealthy few when billions of dollars in capital are required for its progress?Show Notes:On ProMarket, check out:Why Musk Is Right About OpenAI by Luigi Zingales, March 5, 2024Who Will Enforce AI's Social Purpose?
