Abstract

This article explores the Biden administration's efforts to address monopolies and draws comparisons to Teddy Roosevelt's anti-monopoly stance in the early 20th century. It discusses the consolidation of industries and the rise of trusts and monopolies during that time, as well as Roosevelt's use of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act to dismantle them. The article also mentions the Pujo Committee's investigation into the concentration of corporate power, which led to banking and corporate reforms during Woodrow Wilson's presidency. Today, there is a renewed focus on antitrust measures, particularly in relation to tech conglomerates, with bipartisan support for updating antitrust laws. [Extracted from the article]
