In this thought-provoking discussion, Bharat Ramamurti, former Deputy Director of the National Economic Council, and Matt Stoller, an expert on monopoly power, argue for breaking up Big Tech due to its overwhelming influence on competition and democracy. On the other side, Geoffrey Manne from the International Center for Law & Economics and Jennifer Huddleston from the Cato Institute caution against such measures, warning they could harm consumer welfare and innovation. The debate dives into historical precedents, market power, and the implications for civic life.
