Barry Lynn has literally written the book on two of the hottest economic and policy topics right now—monopolies and supply chain fragility.  His book on monopoly is called Cornered: the new monopoly capitalism and the economics of destruction and his book on supply chains is called End of the Line. 

On a previous podcast, former FTC Chair Bill Kovacic said that Barry Lynn’s work on launching the antimonopoly movement is “one of the most successful efforts to develop a new intellectual framework and to get it into the bloodstream of the policymaking process.” 

In this episode, Barry talks about the importance of the President's executive order on competition and where the antimonopoly movement is headed next.
