COVID19 is currently reshaping our conceptions of the modern world. What the world looked like at the beginning of 2020 and what it will look like by the end of 2020 could be radically different. Behind this ‘new normal’ there is a battle being raged between the forces of democracy and the forces of corporate power.

Matt Stoller is the author of Goliath : The 100 year war between Monopoly Power and Democracy and joins me on this edition of Handheld Travel to discuss how these battles have taken place throughout American history, how a Congressman from rural Texas changed the American economy, whether or not we are truly living in ‘unprecendented’ times and how to make the topic of monoply interesting to a large audience.

Matt is currently a researcher at the American Economic Liberties Project.
