Goliath

The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy

Book • 2019

Goliath by Matt Stoller is a detailed historical account that re-tells U.S.

history as a fight between monopolists and anti-monopolists.

The book begins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on figures like J.P.

Morgan and Andrew Mellon, and traces the struggle through the Great Depression, the New Deal, World War II, and the post-war period up to the present.

Stoller highlights key personalities such as Wright Patman, Ralph Nader, and Michael Milken, and discusses the impact of anti-monopoly policies on American democracy.

The book also explores the resurgence of authoritarianism and populism in modern American politics and the historical context that led to the current political landscape.
