MARRIOTT MARQUIS | WASHINGTON, DC RSVP [[link removed]]

Please join us for an important conference to explore the power of antimonopoly principles to renew American democracy, strengthen our economy, and construct a more peaceful and sustainable world.

The Open Markets Institute is hosting an exciting opportunity to hear from leading thinkers in today’s antimonopoly renaissance – from around the world and across the political spectrum - on the role and use of antimonopoly policy to address some of our country’s most pressing challenges. This work has powerful implications across such diverse areas as worker rights and discrimination, climate change, digital platforms and privacy abuses, freedom of media and journalism, industrial policy, artistic liberty, economic resiliency supply chain security, international cooperation, and most importantly, our very democracy.

We will reconnect Americans to the ideas, narratives, and laws that previous generations used to preserve individual liberty, protect community, and engage every citizen in the day-to-day challenges of building a good society. We will see, how from the first days of our Republic, competition policy has been a foundation of our democracy, security, and prosperity. We will learn how we can update and expand traditional visions of democracy to help us master the specific political and technological challenges of today.

The conference helps mark Open Markets’ fifth anniversary as an independent organization. Our friends at Color of Change, Public Citizen, and the Financial Times will serve as co-sponsors of various portions of the day's activities.

A sampling of our Speakers includes:

Senator Elizabeth Warren Jonathan Kanter, Head of the Antitrust Division of the Department of JusticeAyad Akhtar, Pulitzer Prize winning playwright and the president of PEN America, whose book Homeland Elegies contains one of the most haunting and powerful descriptions of how monopolists bulldozed American society Larry Kramer, president of the Hewlett Foundation and author of The People Themselves, who over the last five years has invested millions to understanding neoliberalism and how to overcome it. Rana Foroohar, business columnist and an associate editor at the Financial Times, author of Homecoming: The Path to Prosperity in a Post-Global World RSVP [[link removed]] Tweet [link removed] Forward [link removed]
