In late May, JP Morgan’s chief investment strategist Michael Cembalest went on the podcast Odd Lots, to discuss the stock market with co-hosts Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway. He asked a question a lot of us have. Why haven’t the antitrust laws worked to constrain big tech, in particular Google?

Welcome to the podcast Organized Money. You can listen to today’s episode on Apple on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. All over the country, corporate consolidation of doctor’s offices has exploded in recent years. Most states have long standing laws on the books forbidding corporate entities from controlling medical decision-making, but large corporations like UnitedHealth have managed to weasel their way in via loopholes.

Welcome to BIG, a newsletter on the politics of monopoly power. If you’d like to sign up to receive issues over email, you can do so here. Two days ago, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek signed the nation’s strictest law against corporate control of health care practices in the state. It’s a major defeat for private equity and large health insurers, and something that advocates and physicians have been advocating for years, as more and more of the state’s capacity got bought up by financiers.
Monopoly Round-Up: The Best and the Brightest Under Pressure

2 weeks ago | thebignewsletter.com | Matt Stoller

Today’s round-up has a lot of stuff. The war between Musk and Trump could lead to significant changes in personnel in the administration, the copyright office put out a potential fix for McDonald’s ice cream machines, and an appeals court refused to grant Apple’s emergency request to give it back its app store monopoly. Before going to that, I’m going to focus on something personal, which is my role as an American elite, because it intersects with a political fight that’s going on right now.

Welcome to BIG, a newsletter on the politics of monopoly power. If you’d like to sign up to receive issues over email, you can do so here. I had planned to write something on the possible Google remedy, but the political world is riveted by the bitter feud that has broken out between the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, and the President, Donald Trump.
Monopoly Round-Up: Trump Mocked by Wall Street as the Boy Who Cried Tariff, Loses Trade Court Ruling

3 weeks ago | thebignewsletter.com | Matt Stoller

Today’s monopoly round-up is a bit shorter than usual, as I’ve been on vacation for the past week. The biggest piece of news is that the Trump administration’s trade policy took a big hit. But in addition, there are updates on how the key judge overseeing Google’s antitrust loss sees the possibility of a break-up, the FTC waived through a a major chip software merger, and noncompete bans continue to advance in states. Ok, let’s start with Trump trade policy, which got rolled back in two ways.
Monopoly Round-Up: Trump Antitrust Enforcers Kick Small Business In the Teeth

1 month ago | thebignewsletter.com | Matt Stoller

This week’s focus is the Trump Federal Trade Commission abruptly ending a lawsuit against Pepsi (and de facto Walmart) for discriminating against smaller stores. After that I’ll have the round-up, which is full of monopoly-related news, including a major change to the Apple app store, a big Supreme Court ruling calling the Federal Reserve the fourth branch of government, and the GOP tax bill passing the house. A note, I’m going on vacation next week, so I won’t have much for next Sunday.
The Non-Compete Nightmare

Welcome to the podcast Organized Money. You can listen to today’s episode on Apple on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. "I was served papers while picking up my children from school." That was the beginning of real estate broker Courtney Van Kott's shocking six-year legal nightmare to fight a non-compete.
