See AllPlease take 21 minutes of your day to listen to this fantastic @OTMBrooke interview of @NaomiOreskes about The Big Myth, which explores the propaganda machine behind neoliberalism, and the corporate funding of scholarship at the University of Chicago.
Bill Clinton stripped antitrust out of the Democratic platform, the first time monopoly was not referenced in the platform since 1880, per @matthewstoller. Biden’s SOTU was a repudiation of those neoliberal (pro-monopoly) values. Kudos to @sarahmillerdc for such a great piece.
Wonderful piece by @BCAppelbaum, but let me offer a more direct answer: Many (not all) of the regulators from prior admins went to work for the law firms peddling these anticompetitive deals. The revolving-door hypothesis is more compelling than regulators-are-naive alternative.
