Dear reader,

18 months ago, President Biden issued an executive order
directing all federal agencies to promote competition in the U.S.
economy. Devised by a small group of anti-monopoly reformers, it
included a whopping 72 different discrete action items for agencies to
take, but more critically, it sought to change the government's
approach towards concentrated corporate power.

For our implementation issue, I wanted to check out how this initiative
was going. I contacted every federal agency named in the executive
order, and asked them what they've done on competition policy. Almost
every one of them wrote back.

Progress never happens in a straight line. Some agencies have taken the
president's directive to heart, while others have not. Some actions
were taken immediately, and some are still waiting to be completed. But
slowly, gradually, and sometimes agonizingly, the ship of state is
turning around. I tell that story in a feature we released today.
