Amy Klobuchar | Antitrust: Taking on Monopoly Power from the Gilded Age to the Digital Age
In conversation with Mark Zandi, Chief Economist, Moody’s Analytics
The senior United States Senator from Minnesota, Amy Klobuchar chairs the Senate Rules Committee; the Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights; and the Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee. A 2020 Presidential candidate, she is a graduate of Yale University and the University of Chicago Law School, a former partner at two corporate law firms, and led Minnesota’s largest prosecutor’s office for eight years. Ranked by a 2019 Vanderbilt University study as the most effective Democratic senator in the 115th Congress, she has worked to pass bipartisan legislation on a wide range of issues, including consumer product safety, agricultural issues, and civil rights, among many others. In Antitrust, Klobuchar offers a history of America’s fight against monopolies as a guide to curtailing contemporary monoliths like Facebook, Google, and Amazon.
