Welcome to Escape Forward. I’m Cristina Caffarra. I’m delighted to be starting this podcast, which is a discussion with people I enjoy and I learn a lot from. And it’s called โEscape Forwardโ because I really don’t see how one can formulate antitrust policy, which is my original field, without reaching out into other economic policy areas: as I keep saying, antitrust should not be an island, not a specialist discipline just for lawyers and nerds with its own esoteric, mostly bogus rituals – but should be much more aware of what else happens around us and affects how markets behave.
