1. Stiglitz Speaks Out Roosevelt Chief Economist Joseph Stiglitz was a guest on Vox’s “The Ezra Klein Show,” where he discussed his background in Indiana, the evolution of his career, and the work he’s doing now to rewrite the rules of the American economy. And in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, he explains why Donald Trump’s economic platform is wrong for American workers. 2. Monopoly Power in Silicon Valley As part of The New York Times's Room for Debate, Roosevelt President and CEO Felicia Wong says tech giants should be collaborating with government to serve people, not spending huge amounts on lobbying to exempt themselves from regulations that would benefit consumers. 3. A New Frontier for Antitrust In the wake of the proposed AT&T/Time Warner merger, Pacific Standard talks to Roosevelt Program Director Kathryn Milani and Legal Fellow Andrew Hwang about Roosevelt’s Untamed report and why antitrust policy should consider the public interest and the threat monopolies pose to democracy. 4.
