Antitrust (my original domain) has thrived in the shadows for decades as a technocracy, a church with its own rituals, a lobbyfest pretending to be science. But it is an economic policy tool working alongside others. Only “the profession” does not want to see it. After a lifetime as antitrust expert economist & one of the original proponents of the “more economic approach” in Europe, I discuss with friends in tech, policy and academe what really matters, and how we connect the dots with everything else – for growth & prosperity.
