Welcome to a special edition of Two Think Minimum, the podcast of the Technology Policy Institute. This podcast is a replay of our August 18th panel discussion on antitrust policy from the 2025 TPI Aspen Forum. The panel covers Biden to Trump 2 asking whether antitrust traded expertise for populism, they hit mergers versus monopolization, politicization, content moderation, fights, and whether any of this will actually stick. The discussion was moderated by TPI President Emeritus and Senior Fellow Tom Lenard, and featured Dennis Carlton from the University of Chicago, Carl Shapiro from UC Berkeley, Howard Shelanski from Georgetown Law, and Christopher Yoo from the University of Pennsylvania.
