Episode Lina Khan: How to break the monopoly machine
UnHerd’s US Editor Sohrab Ahmari interviews former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan. As head of the Biden FTC, Khan shook up decades of corporate deference — suing Big Tech, targeting drug middlemen, and reviving antitrust enforcement.
In this conversation, she reflects on the collapse of the brief “post-neoliberal” consensus, warning that corporations now use both woke and anti-woke rhetoric to shield their power, while Trump’s return has revived old patterns of lobbyist capture and green-lit mega-mergers.
Can Democrats truly embrace economic populism? Was the populist moment just a mirage? And is antitrust still America’s frontline battle against monopoly power?
