Summary:
The book examines the decline of antitrust enforcement in the United States and argues for revitalized competition policy to tackle economic concentration and inequality. It provides a historical analysis of antitrust laws, critiques the current lax enforcement, and offers policy recommendations to strengthen antitrust protections and promote a more competitive economy.
Key points:
1. Antitrust for Competition: Baker says antitrust laws are crucial to keep the economy competitive. Without them, big companies could harm consumers, block innovation, and stop new companies from entering the market.
