What happens when the government rethinks monopoly power?
In this podcast, Doha Mekki and Jonathan Kanter, two former leaders of the DOJ Antitrust Division, join Teddy Downey to walk through the quiet but seismic shift in U.S. competition policy.
They discuss how the 2008 financial crisis reshaped thinking about corporate power; why labor markets became a key focus for antitrust enforcement; the breakdown of traditional remedies like consent decrees; what bipartisan antitrust actually looks like—and where it might go next. From Big Tech to chicken processing plants, from Silicon Valley to Main Street, this episode explores how policy, law, and economic reality collided—and what that means for the future of enforcement.
