Podcasts about year war between monopoly power

In Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy (Simon & Schuster, 2019), Matt Stoller explains how authoritarianism and populism have returned to American politics for the first time in eighty years, as the outcome of the 2016 election shook our faith in democratic institutions. It has brought to the fore dangerous forces that many modern Americans never even knew existed. Today's bitter recriminations and panic represent more than just fear of the future, they reflect a basic confusion about what is happening and the historical backstory that brought us to this moment. The true effects of populism, a shrinking middle class, and concentrated financial wealth are only just beginning to manifest themselves under the current administrations. The lessons of Stoller's study will only grow more relevant as time passes. "An engaging call to arms," (Kirkus Reviews) Stoller illustrates here in rich detail how we arrived at this tenuous moment, and the steps we must take to create a new democracy.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission and 17 state attorneys general filed a antitrust lawsuit against Amazon on Tuesday. Meanwhile the U.S. Department of Justice's trial against Google is shrouded in secrecy. This week on Deconstructed, we break down the antitrust lawsuits the federal government has brought against Google and Amazon, and the anticompetitive and monopolistic practices on trial. Ryan Grim is joined by Amanda Lewis, a partner at the law firm Cuneo, Gilbert, and LaDuca and co-founder of the Responsible Online Commerce Coalition. They are also joined by Matt Stoller, director of research at the American Economic Liberties Project and author of “Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy.”If you'd like to support our work, go to theintercept.com/give, where your donation, no matter what the amount, makes a real difference.And if you haven't already, please subscribe to the show so you can hear it every week.

He is the author of the Simon and Schuster book Goliath: The Hundred Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy, which Business Insider called “one of the year's best books on how to rethink capitalism and improve the economy.” David Cicilline, Chairman of the House Antitrust Subcommittee, has called Stoller's work “an inspiration.” Stoller is a former policy advisor to the Senate Budget Committee.He also worked for a member of the Financial Services Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives during the financial crisis. While a staffer, he wrote a provision of law mandating a third party audit of the Federal Reserve's emergency lending activities. He also helped cut part of a $20 billion subsidy to large financial institutions. His 2012 law review article on the foreclosure crisis, The Housing Crash and the End of American Citizenship, predicted the rise of autocratic political forces, and his 2016 Atlantic article, How the Democrats Killed their Populist Soul, helped inspire the new anti-monopoly movement. His writing has appeared in the Washington Post, the New York Times, Fast Company, Foreign Policy, the Guardian, Vice, The American Conservative, and the Baffler.

A wild week in the world of golf went out with a bang as Nick Taylor made a 72-foot eagle putt on the fourth playoff hole to become the first Canadian to win the national open since 1954. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss Taylor's win, the latest updates on the bombshell news last week that the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Public Investment Fund struck a deal to pool commercial interests, and preview the third major of the year - the US Open at Los Angeles Country Club. Matt Stoller, the author of "Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy," joins Smylie and Charlie to discuss his antitrust concerns surrounding the proposed PGAT/DPWT/PIF deal.

Joining me in this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is Matt Stoller, former Congressional staffer and author of Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy and the excellent Substack BIG. Matt's work on the threat posed by monopoly power is exceptional and, in this fascinating conversation we cover the challenges he's faced in taking on Big Tech monopolies, the anti-capitalist consequences of monopolistic corporate power, his experiences on The Hill during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and his bipartisan approach to changing the current political landscape in the United States. There's so much at stake as large corporations tighten their collective grip on the throat of the consumer and Matt offers an insightful look both backward and forward in trying to assess where things went wrong, and how they might be fixed. Every episode of the Grant Williams podcast, including This Week In Doom, The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game and Shifts Happen, is available to Copper, Silver and Gold Tier subscribers at my website www.Grant-Williams.com. Copper Tier subscribers get access to all podcasts, while members of the Silver Tier get both the podcasts and my monthly newsletter, Things That Make You Go Hmmm… Gold Tier subscribers have access to my new series of in-depth video conversations, About Time.

Last week the FTC surprised everyone when they actually took action towards stopping the Microsoft/Activision merger. So much so that Rob had to reach out to an expert to get into the nitty gritty about what this really means. He interviewed Matt Stoller, author of “Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy,” and they discussed the history of monopolies in the US, and how Microsoft history weighs heavily on the FTC's decision. But first, Ren has stories to tell from her time playing way too much Dwarf Fortress, including a late breaking story of a young dwarf that just loves to carry gems around. Patrick's wrapped on Immortality, and while he's had a great time with the game, he does wonder if it wouldn't have benefited from something akin to Return to Monkey Island's hint system. After the break, we dip into the question bucket to hear more pronunciation goofs, and our worst, potentially job-losing gaming habits. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Location: Washington D.C. Date: Saturday 4th December Project: American Economic Liberties Project & Coin Center Role: Director of Research & Research Director 2021 has been a monumental year for Bitcoin for many reasons. As a result, Bitcoin has matured in the minds of casual observers: it is now seriously viewed as a viable alternative to other forms of money. Whilst this is a validation for proponents, such a situation is like a fever dream for those who believe in the primacy of the state. China has banned private digital assets. The IMF is concerned about the impact of digital assets on financial stability. On Wednesday, the lead economist at the IMF stated that urgent international coordination is required to implement regulation. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has echoed these comments. There are also concerns from more vocal advocates for democracy. Such people argue there is no such thing as deregulation: someone is always making the rules. The decision is whether such rules are made within the purview of collective agreement, or by unelected and unaccountable powers. This community thinks Bitcoin undermines the state and thereby democracy. Bitcoin is rightly or wrongly associated with an anarcho capitalist ideology. Yet, the Bitcoin community is a broad church. There is a growing sense that a silent majority who still believe in government, but also see Bitcoin as a powerful check on centralised control. They view Bitcoin as second amendment rights for money.  In this interview, I talk to Matt Stoller: author of ‘Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy', about his recent newsletter post ‘Cryptocurrencies: A Necessary Scam?'. To make the case for Bitcoin I am joined by Coin Center's Peter Van Valkenburgh. We discuss the issue of power consolidation, the current crisis with democracy, and the monopoly of money.

The TrapDraw is back and we're headed well off the board. Today's guest is Matthew Stoller, an author, writer, and current Research Director for the American Economic Liberties Project. The basis for today's discussion is Matt's book, "Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy". No matter your political stripes, I think you'll find Matt entertaining and informative on several of the issues facing America, and society, today. Enjoy!

We tend to talk about infrastructure in terms of spending amounts. But infrastructure in a monopoly-dominated economy is not just about money, it's about who governs - monopolists, or the public?

The DOJ pulling out of its antitrust settlement with NAR seems like bad news for the industry.   But what if it could be an opportunity?   Michael Wurzer is the CEO of FBS, the leading innovator of MLS technology. Prior to FBS, Michael spent seven years practicing law in California and Minnesota, working in corporate law, litigation and serving as Assistant General Counsel for Aveda.   On this episode of Industry Relations, Michael shares his unique perspective on the DOJ withdrawal, discussing the Biden administration's intent to refocus on antitrust principles and the need for smaller, independent businesses to ensure competition in any sector.   Michael explains how organized real estate might engage with regulators, describing how MLSs could serve as labs of experimentation to promote transparency and competition in the industry.   Listen in to understand the challenge of overcoming what Rob calls the regulatory mindset and find out how real estate can take an offensive posture with the FTC, working together to innovate around Brandeis and Patman's antitrust ideals.   What's Discussed:     The intent of the Biden administration to refocus on antitrust principles Why industries need smaller, independent businesses to ensure competition How the competitive nature of the MLS benefits NAR in negotiating with the DOJ Why Michael sees an opportunity for the industry to engage with regulators How MLSs might serve as labs of experimentation to promote transparency and competition The concerns around Ben Harris' advocacy for delinking of commissions How a willingness to experiment would be a good defense for government intervention Rob's concern that the regulatory mindset won't allow for such a nuanced approach Why Michael doesn't see NAR or large MLSs as Goliaths to be broken up   Connect with Michael:   FBS Michael on Twitter   Connect with Rob and Greg:    Rob's Website Greg's Website   Resources:   FBS Summit Justice Department Withdraws from Settlement with the National Association of Realtors Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy by Matt Stoller Chicago School of Economics ‘Amazon's Antitrust Paradox' by Lina M.

Matt Stoller a fellow at the Open Markets Institute joins The Great Battlefield podcast to discuss his career in politics and his book "Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy".

Host Stacy Mitchell is joined by Matt Stoller, fellow at the Open Markets Institute, for a conversation about Matt's new book Goliath: The 100 Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy. Stacy and Matt dive into the rise of corporate monopolies starting in the 20th century and American movements to control corporate power. They also discuss: Matt Stoller, Open Markets Institute What we can glean from history to oppose concentrated corporate power today and establish a fairer economy. Why small business used to be a core part of the constituency of the Democratic party. How the rise of the law and economics movement converged with the collapse of the New Deal to produce a shift in the Democratic party, causing Democrats to turn away from anti-monopolist views. How powerful financiers and monopolists like Andrew Mellon manipulated our tax code to favor big business in the 1920s, and pushed back against the anti-monopoly movement in the 1950s.     The question I tried to answer [in the book] is why did Democrats with power screw up so badly? And how can we not do that again? That's a really important question to have right now because we see a lot of the same trends, the rise in autocratic and fascist movements all over the world, corporate concentration, regional inequality, despair, and also this amazing moment of potential hope and solutions. I think the lessons, the heritage that we have as Americans, we have a tradition of opposing concentrated corporate power.   Related Resources Goliath:The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy by Matt Stoller Open Markets Institute ILSR Monopoly Resources   Transcript Stacy Mitchell: Hello and welcome to Building Local Power. I'm Stacy Mitchell, co-director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. Today on the show we have Matt Stoller, he's a fellow at the Open Markets Institute and the author of a new book, it's called Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy. Matt, welcome to Building Local Power. Matt Stoller: Thanks for having me. Your work is amazing and then so I'm just really happy to be here. Stacy Mitchell: That's great. Yeah, you do great work too. You're one of my favorite followers on Twitter and of course Open Markets is a longtime friend and ally of ILSR's. So the book is terrific and I wanted to get you on early, as it's just coming out, to make sure that our listeners heard about it because I think it's really one of the great, worthwhile reads out there. It's Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy. And there's so much in this book that we could talk about. You start at the beginning of the 20th century and take us right through to today, and chart this back and forth war between monopoly concentration, corporate control on the one hand and democracy on the other. And really chart the rise of a democratic framework for controlling corporate power that's pretty powerful for several decades in the 20th century, and then also chart its demise. And in thinking about how to approach this conversation, I think I want to take it in two parts. So I want to start first by just zeroing in on a few key periods in that history and asking you to tell us a little bit about what was going on. And then I want to step back and ask you a few questions about some of the broader themes and issues that the book raises and how we should think about those in the context of the current moment. So, the first period that I want to start with is the 1920s. This is a period that I think is kind of in popular imagination, it's sort of the go, go '20s, flappers, it's roaring economic times supposedly. But you write that it's actually quite a dark decade, that a lot of people aren't doing very well at all. Fascism is very much in the air, not just in Europe, but here. There are academics who are saying that democracy doesn't really work and we should get rid of it. And there is this powerful figure who really encapsulates a...

Matt Stoller is a fellow at the Open Markets Institute and the author of Goliath: the 100 Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy (out now!). He was previously a Senior Policy Advisor and Budget Analyst to the Senate Budget Committee and worked in Congress on financial services policy, including Dodd-Frank, the Federal Reserve, and the foreclosure crisis. Matt has written for the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, the New Republic, and elsewhere. As we discuss, Matt had a brief excursion in Hollywood, where he was a writer and actor on a TV show with Russell Brand. You may be most familiar with Matt from his very active and entertaining Twitter feed (@mattherstoller). Goliath is a “big idea” history coming at the right time. Concentrated corporate power affects your life every day, in ways both subtle and obvious. The domination of key industries by a handful of megacorporations is not the natural or permanent state of affairs. We have successfully fought and tamed monopolies before, but have forgotten how. Goliath reminds us of the way forward.  We discuss: Matt's path from being a remorseful Iraq War supporter to being a vigorous opponent of concentrated financial power, the case for and against monopoly power, the neoliberal roots of the disastrous response to the financial crisis, the link between monopoly power and fascism, dangerous and desirable monopolies, the massive state intervention in the economy during and after WWII, the proper role for finance in society, the real basis for the American dream, the impact of fair trade laws and their repeal, whether small businesses are actually any better than big ones, how the ruling class frames their rule as inevitable, the law and economics movement, the Democrats' betrayal of organized labor, the crisis of legitimacy for economics, antimonopoly's political moment, and why Obama was actually bad.  Show notes: Matt's work: When American Capitalism Meant Equality The Progressive Case Against Obama Other links: Louis Brandeis's book Other People's Money, and How the Bankers Use It (free ebook) Dark Money: the Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right Fred Dutton's NYT Obituary Obama's not as tough on mergers as you think On the Obama admin's role in the 737 Max scandal: The emerging 737 Max scandal, explained Obama Failed to Mitigate America's Foreclosure Crisis Obama officials' failure to stop the opioid crisis
