Antitrust

“An impressive work of scholarship, deeply researched … highly informative and surprisingly readable in the bargain.”—Liaquat Ahamed, The New York Times Book Review “Senators rarely write books, and when they do, they tend to be political memoirs. But Klobuchar’s Antitrust is a serious and important contribution that will help build momentum for reform … Throughout, she references her own proposed legislation on the topic. And as Klobuchar is chair of the Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on competition policy, antitrust, and consumer rights, her proposals are likely to be one of the starting points for reform.”—The New Republic “Methodical … Klobuchar furnishes an overview of the evolution of U.S. anti-monopoly law and a call for rebalancing the relationship between capital and labor. She condemns corporate consolidation and wealth concentration, and views lax antitrust enforcement as antithetical to democracy.”—The Guardian “A thorough history of trustbusting in America and an urgent plea for stricter enforcement … a diligently researched history lesson and a well thought out plan, meticulously delineated … staggeringly detailed … solid, sharp, articulate work.”—Kirkus (starred review) “Klobuchar reviews past monopolies, starting with a certain tea party, and continuing through the Gilded Age and the Sherman Act to current day, providing plenty of social, political, and legislative context … She argues for swift, sweeping reform in economic, legislative, social welfare, and human rights policies. A steady stream of period political cartoons help keep things lively, and her style is engaging and energetic.”—Booklist (starred review)
