    My book, Goliath: The Hundred Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy, is out in mid-October. Americans once challenged corporate power, but the 1970s Watergate Baby generation rejected this tradition, embraced monopoly, and destabilized politics.

    Interesting example... pricing power, not JPow. More like FTC and DOJ not paying attention: "Over the past decade, the number of lubricant distributors in the United States has declined by more than 50%"

    Some Democrats are trying to repeal basically the only time Republicans actually taxed the rich. (To her credit AOC has been a critic of this move: )

    Repealing the SALT cap in 2021 would cost $91 billion and give millionaires an average tax cut of almost $71,000. Folks making between $50k-$75k would get $23, on average. New from and Don Boyd . h/t

    This week's Trendline is fantastic. I've got shaming my food tastes and explaining why it's hard to get a cab these days. Plus, a discussion of 's international survey research methods! "The only thing I love more than efficiency is spicy chicken."

    I think it's really important to reiterate that AOC described her dressmaker, a fashion designer from Toronto who is dating a billionaire, as an immigrant woman of color.

    Here is some good news that may well say more about the American character than anything in the NYT or on Fox News.

    This is incredible! Hundreds of people gathered in South Lake Tahoe to thank and say goodbye to all the firefighters who helped save their city! This happened as many firefighters were leaving town to go home after the so they were very surprised ❤️

    I reviewed Eric Posner's excellent new book, How Antitrust Failed Workers. TLDR: Great summary of the state of law and economics vis-a-vis labor and market power, but too reliant on the lens of economics.

    CBO has long been unreasonable on HR3, wanting certitude on government capacity to negotiate drug prices. A small team at VA does negotiation without much problem. As one advocate told me recently: "The bounds of what policy is possible driven by opaque decisions made within CBO"

    I don't think anyone quite realizes that the entire legislative process is focused on pleasing the corrupt and obviously wrong nerds at the Congressional Budget Office. They have dumb bad models and yet Congress legislates to their whims. Abolish the CBO.

    There is a deep state in government and it is hostile to governance. I'm increasingly convinced most of the squealing re:Trump was a result of him forcing them to govern, like tariffs or preparing a withdrawal. They didn't hate what you hate. Same w/Biden.

    This is a good example. Direct and Indirect Reimbursement Fees (DIR) are a scam for monopolists to prey on independent pharmacies. There's been a rule proposed for years to end them. Instead, HHS proposes to 'analyze' public comments on the practice to 'inform future action.'

    The Department of Health and Human Services and is openly subverting the Biden administration's competition order. Health care is a total mess in terms of concentration, and HHS put out a report offering no meaningful recommendations.

    An important thing to note is that HR3 (drug price reform) was the compromise. This was fought over during all of 2019, a huge fight. Final version got buy-in from the whole caucus. Everyone ran on it. The 3 pharma lovers who blocked it today *voted for it*.
