Shownotes

On this episode, Mark Blyth talks with Erik Peinert, an assistant professor of political science at Boston University, about his new book “Monopoly Politics: Competition and Learning and the Evolution of Policy Regimes.” In the book, Erik draws extensively on archives in the US and France to explain why, when, and how those two countries have chosen to fight monopoly power over the course of the 20th century, and explores what their stories can teach us about increasing market concentration in the US and around the world today.
