A new article by Stacy Mitchell in ProMarket explores the growing momentum in states across the country to take on monopolies and pass antitrust reforms that give attorneys general more power to rein in dominant corporations. Mitchell argues that antitrust is undergoing a durable revival: once the domain of elite legal circles, it is becoming a grassroots issue — shaped by small business coalitions, labor advocates, and community groups fed up with how concentrated power is driving up prices and hollowing out local economies.The piece is an essential dispatch about where things stand in the anti-monopoly movement, and why there’s reason for hope.
Stacy Mitchell“A fundamental shift has taken place: antitrust is no longer the exclusive domain of federal agencies or elite legal circles. It is becoming a live issue in statehouses, courtrooms, and communities across the country.”
