Antitrust has escaped the business section and become a major topic of conversation in households across America. If you plan to attend a summer concert, buy groceries, or even listen to this episode on your phone, antitrust could have a real impact on your day-to-day life.

Elizabeth Binczik speaks with Sandeep Vaheesan of Open Markets Institute about the competing views on the FTC’s and DOJ’s recent actions and what this period means for antitrust.
