Is 2024 the year of trust-busting? This bipartisan issue of small versus big is a fight taking place on the streets and in the Federal and State courts, from grassroots movements to Congressional hearings. ILSR’s Co-Executive Director Stacy Mitchell and Matt Stoller, Director of Research at the American Economic Liberties Project, joined the Laura Flanders & Friends show to give context to this pivotal antitrust moment.

Stacy explains, “What we are seeing in this administration is we actually have people in place who are making huge change and are using the tools to the full extent that they have . . . There is a lot of grassroots support for the idea of dealing with corporate power. Everybody is feeling this . . .”
