Description

From the man who coined the term 'net neutrality,' author of "The Master Switch" and "The Attention Merchants," comes a warning about the dangers of excessive corporate and industrial concentration for our economic and political future. "The Curse Of Bigness: Antitrust in the New Gilded Age" tells us how figures like Louis Brandeis and Theodore Roosevelt first confronted the democratic threats posed by the great trusts of the Gilded Age—but the lessons of the Progressive Era were forgotten in the last 40 years. Wu calls for recovering the lost tenets of the trustbusting age as part of a broader revival of American progressive ideas as we confront the fallout of persistent and extreme economic inequality.

Tim Wu will present a short talk followed by a audience Q&A and book signing. RSVP via eventbrite is required.

"In this short but persuasive book, Wu, a Columbia law professor, connects the current political climate to a decline in antitrust enforcement. ...The book’s brevity is an asset—Wu skillfully avoids economic and legal rabbit holes, keeping the book laser-focused on his thesis: that antitrust enforcement must be restored 'as a check on power as necessary in a functioning democracy before it’s too late.' Persuasive and brilliantly written, the book is especially timely given the rise of trillion-dollar tech companies."—Publishers Weekly
