Escape Forward: Connecting dots beyond the antitrust island
Antitrust 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. After a lifetime as antitrust expert economist & one of the original proponents of the “more economic approach” in Europe, Cristina Caffarra discusses with friends in policy and academe why we need to escape the myth competition will deliver “a level playing field, consumer choice and innovation” & move forward to connecting the dots with everything else that matters to growth & prosperity.
“America First” vs the “Draghi Mission”: Is the US Upending the World Order, and Can Europe Make It?
In this NEW PODCAST Cristina Caffarra practices escaping forward from (just) antitrust, because everything connects. This episode brings together an American Conservative view of Europe and what “America First” means behind the current tariff war (Oren Cass) and a European diagnosis of the problem and what we should do (Sander Tordoir). Brutal and clear. We are not just fighting a trade war.
