The Prospect recently teamed up with The American Conservative for an event entitled “The Bipartisanship America Needs: Left-Right Convergence on Confronting Monopoly Power” at the National Press Club. Liberals and conservatives discussed ways to work together to deal with the way large sectors of our economy have fallen into too few hands.

It’s an important conversation to have when you consider the enormity of power and influence that large, monopolistic corporations wield in this country. If we’re ever going to dislodge it, we’ll need a broad coalition.  Whether you care about consumers and workers getting ripped off, national security being compromised by fragile supply chains and a loss of domestic control, markets that don’t function to deliver broadly shared prosperity, or a captured government run for the benefit of the well-connected, there’s a way into this issue for many of us across the political spectrum.

The event featured a discussion between the Prospect’s David Dayen and Federal Trade Commissioner Rohit Chopra followed by a panel on bipartisan cooperation on anti-monopoly work featuring The American Conservative’s W. James Antle III; Liza Lovdahl Gormsen of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law; Sandeep Vaheesan of the Open Markets Institute; and Guy Rolnik of the University of Chicago. The concluding panel on healthcare and trade policy included the Prospect’s Robert Kuttner, Alan Tonelson of RealityChek, Phillip Longman of the Open Markets Institute, and Jonathan Tepper, author of The Myth of Capitalism.
