Host Danielle McLean chats with author and economic policy expert Pat Garofalo about antitrust laws and monopolies: 

• How the federal government’s enforcement of antitrust laws over the past four decades have paved the way for new monopolies.
• How these monopolies have impacted everything from inequality, rising healthcare costs, to the decline of the free press.
• And what Congress and the Biden administration can do to break up massive corporations that are crushing their competition. 

Pat is the director of state and local policy at the American Economic Liberties Project and author of the book, The Billionaire Boondoggle: How Our Politicians Let Corporations and Bigwigs Steal Our Money And Our Jobs.
