About this Event
The American Conservative and The American Prospect Present:
The Bipartisanship America Needs: Left-Right Convergence on Confronting Monopoly Power
Democrats and Republicans rarely get together in Washington. On November 14, The American Conservative will team up with The American Prospect to discuss a topic that has gained the attention of both parties: monopoly power. Liberals and conservatives alike share a concern that large sectors of our economy have shifted from the control of the many to the control of the select few, a dynamic which has been described as a harbinger of a second Gilded Age.
Join The American Conservative and The American Prospect for an important discussion about how the left and right can collaborate to confront monopoly power.
