America has been sliding back toward levels of corporate control, consolidation, and inequality not seen since the Gilded Age. This resurgence in monopoly capitalism has sparked a corresponding movement in antitrust reform known as the New Brandeis movement. Lina Khan, appointed chair of the Federal Trade Commission by President Biden, has become the foremost voice of this movement and has engaged in high-profile battles to reshape how America deals with monopolies. In this captivating episode, Lina joins Adam to discuss the FTC's efforts to enhance the quality of life for Americans, from shielding our finances from corporate greed to protecting workers from extortive non-compete clauses in the workplace.
