Monopoly v. Democracy w/ Matt Stoller & Zephyr Teachout / Fighting Fascism
About this episode
Matt Stoller and Zephyr Teachout discuss the intersection of democracy and economic issues, emphasizing the impact of corporate monopolies on freedom.
We often think of democracy as a political issue, rather than an economic one. Matt Stoller and Zephyr Teachout, two leaders in the anti-monopoly movement, believe that’s a fundamentally false division. They joined us to explain why, as they see it, economic concentration is causing the loss of freedom we are experiencing across so many aspects of our lives, and why this country needs a great “re-illusionment” (or whatever word means the opposite of disillusionment) to fight back against the corporate monopolies ruining everything around us.
