History of Capitalism: Anti-monopoly Past and Present  

Anti-trust has been around for more than a century in the United States, and yet each generation seems to reinvent what it means and how its principles are applied.

 

The Sherman Anti-Trust Act aspired to break up trusts that undermined the public interest. But the statute was vague in defining its principles.

 

Join us for this public conversation between experts in the field, who will explore the concept of anti-monopoly from a historical and contemporary perspective.

 

Panelists: Richard John, Columbia University; Victoria Woeste,American Bar Foundation; Matt Stoller, Open Markets Institute
