From food to healthcare to tech and finance, monopolies are tightening their grip on our economies—and our lives. He shares how corporate fuels billionaire wealth, undermines democracy, and worsens the climate crisis. But it’s not all doom—he also lays out bold solutions and how ordinary people can fight back.
