P&P Live!: Zephyr Teachout – Break 'Em Up: Recovering Our Freedom from Big Ag, Big Tech, and Big Money - in conversation with Brandi Collins-Dexter

Every facet of American life is being overtaken by big platform monopolists like Facebook, Google, and Bayer (which has merged with the former agricultural giant Monsanto), resulting in a greater concentration of wealth and power than we've seen since the Gilded Age. They are evolving into political entities that often have more influence than the actual government, bending state and federal legislatures to their will and even creating arbitration courts that circumvent the US justice system. How can we recover our freedom from these giants? Anti-corruption scholar and activist Zephyr Teachout has the answer: Break 'Em Up.

Through her expert analysis of monopolies in several sectors and their impact on courts, journalism, inequality, and politics, Teachout offers a concrete path toward thwarting these enemies of working Americans and reclaiming our democracy before it's too late. 

Teachout will be in conversation with Brandi Collins-Dexter, previously the Senior Campaign Director for Color of Change, the nation’s largest online racial justice organization.
