“we could call this a more muscular, socialism-inflected version of antitrust. Rather than (or in addition to) playing constant legal whack-a-mole against market concentration, the government steps in directly and creates the competition it wants, either through subsidies or outright state-owned firms. This antitrust model has led to by far the most effective attack on fossil fuel power in history: the rise of ultra-cheap renewable energy.” @ryanlcooper https://prospect.org/economy/2025-10-07-socialist-case-for-antitrust/
