Democrats Accused of Inaction on Corporate Power

Original: "Asking a neoliberal Democrat to do something about corporate power or economics is like asking a TV doctor to do surger

Matt Stoller's Big Newsletter compares asking a neoliberal Democrat to tackle corporate power to asking a TV doctor to perform surgery. In a monopoly round-up touching on Paramount, Hollywood and California politics, he argues mainstream Democrats are structurally unwilling to confront concentrated economic power. The blunt analogy is circulating among antitrust critics and left-leaning economic commentators.

Why now: Frustration on the left over perceived Democratic reluctance to challenge corporate monopolies is resurfacing in debates over media consolidation and economic policy.
