Hi. I work at the American Economic Liberties Project. I wrote a book called Goliath and the monopoly-focused newsletter BIG: https://t.co/8QDW3bH1y3

Looking Backward
Edward Bellamy
This is a cool quote from MLK, who was an anti-monopolist. Also interesting is that he was a fan of Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward. https://t.co/epbml2Rcnj

Public Citizens: The Attack on Big Government and the Remaking of American Liberalism
Paul Sabin
@AJentleson @econliberties Agreed. Have you read Paul Sabin’s Public Citizens on the origins of the modern public interest infrastructure? https://t.co/RWKqzl6zkt

Sudoku Puzzle Adventures - RANDOM: WARNING: Seeking excitement? NO ranking clues & NO solutions! Game for it? Designed to stretch & exercise your brai
Tim Lee
Fundamentally, all the scare stories about allowing Australia newspapers to form cooperatives turned out to be false. Example is Tim Berners-Lee's warning that the law would break the web. What it did was revive journalism. https://t.co/iXbjGXgcr2

Destructive Creation: American Business and the Winning of World War II
Mark R. Wilson
@GeorgeSelgin It's all over the historical sources I looked at when researching the 1930s and 1940s. I've never even heard of a historian suggesting it wasn't massively impactful. Destructive Creation by Mark Wilson is one random book that comes to mind.

The Middleman Economy: How Brokers, Agents, Dealers, and Everyday Matchmakers Create Value and Profit
Marina Krakovsky
I can think of a certain book by @ProfKateJudge, "DIRECT: The Rise of the Middleman Economy," that is relevant to this point. https://www.harperbusiness.com/book/9780063041974/Direct-Kathryn-Judge/ https://twitter.com/joeymattingly/status/1534516748946391040

When McKinsey Comes to Town: The Hidden Influence of the World's Most Powerful Consulting Firm
Walt Bogdanich
I'm very much enjoying "When McKinsey Comes to Town" by @PekingMike and Walt Bogdanich. It's very well-written and an easy read.

Democracy in America: Volume II
Sheba Blake
@ETTC19 Untrue. "Amongst the novel objects that attracted my attention during my stay in the United States, nothing struck me more forcibly than the general equality of conditions." - That's the opening to Democracy in America by Alexis de Toqueville in 1835. https://t.co/wrZxbzJYsK

Dispute Settlement Reports 2004
World Trade Organization
1. At this point, it's worth considering whether to disband the World Trade Organization. An utterly disastrous process on vaccines and treatments led to a predictably dumb and useless end. https://t.co/PN5Tq5k4QU

Economics
Paul Krugman
Fascinating how Larry Summers attacks Lina Khan and small business, promotes layoffs, defends monopoly roll-ups, and encourages mergers in the same thread as he says he supports Biden’s antitrust agenda. Also tangles with Paul Krugman. Economics is science! https://t.co/VbVbuAyn0n
