The Attack on Judge Boasberg Burns the FTC’s Credibility
On November 18, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) lost its landmark case against Meta over its acquisition of Instagram. The opinion was issued by Judge James Boasberg. The FTC spokesperson commented to the press decrying the loss as is usual agency practice. But the whole statement was far from usual. FTC spokesperson Joe Simonson told the press: “We are deeply disappointed in this decision. The deck was always stacked against us with Judge Boasberg, who is currently facing articles of impeachment.
The FTC Should Not Be Wielded as a Weapon of Authoritarianism
Many mornings, the first thing I do is drink coffee out of my FTC mug. I worked at the FTC for three years. There, I helped the smartest career civil servants and political appointees I have ever met fight for the American people. They inspired me to see the law as a force for good and convinced me to go to law school. These days especially, that mug reminds me that good public servants can do good things in this government.
Stopping Excessive Market Power Before It Grows Into Monopoly
Politicians and commentators love to talk about the importance of small business to the American economy, but who is actually looking out for the little guy? That is what Congress tried to answer when it passed the Robinson-Patman Act (RPA) in 1936, aiming to stop price discrimination against small retailers.
Attorney-client privilege shouldn’t help oligarchs evade Russia sanctions Original
An obvious principle in the attorney-client relationship is that lawyers should not help their clients break the law. Yet this basic idea is under attack in our country by lawyers themselves. And the victims are taking cover in Ukrainian bomb shelters. Thanks to strong confidentiality shields in our legal system, some U.S. lawyers are weaponizing their privileges to enable kleptocrats and oligarchs’ worst abuses.
Interview with Austin Frerick, author of "Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry"
Austin Frerick is the author of the book Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry, out later this month, which explores the powerful corporations that monopolize entire sectors of the U.S. food system: from pork, beef, and dairy, to grains, coffee, berries, and grocery stores.
Did Economists Break the Economy? Review of Deaton’s Economics in America - The Sling
After about a decade of teaching, it finally occurred to me that interviewing an accomplished economist (or economic critic) would be more entertaining—and hopefully more educational—than asking students to listen to me wax on about economic expert “war stories” for two hours. Also, by inviting a book author, I could compel students to digest the reading material before class, by submitting ten original questions with pinpoint cites to the reading in advance of the lecture.
Gig Workers Should Be Allowed To Organize. The FTC and DOJ Can Help Make That Happen.
As the name implies, Congress passed the antitrust laws to remedy the problem of the trusts—the great agglomerations of capital harming working people. Yet, from that very beginning, the forces of corporate power and oligarchy have used the antitrust laws to attack working people.
A Trip to Pine Ridge: An Old Antitrust Law and Its Forgotten Promise for Rural America
Through the lens of a recent trip to Pine Ridge, SD, we argue why enforcement of the Robinson-Patman Act is a necessity for rural consumers. Across rural America, consumers rely on small, independent retailers for their basic needs because big box stores are often absent from their communities. If these independent retailers are forced to pay higher prices to stock their shelves as a result of illegal price discrimination, these rural consumers ultimately pay the price.
A Recent College Graduate Discovers Offshore « Global Financial Integrity
Originally published by the Offshore Initiative on October 2, 2020. I didn’t discover the world of offshore and kleptocracy myself. It was my sister, Darcy Tuttle, who first explained it to me. Her work got her interested in the details of money laundering scandals. One day, she started explaining to me the role of London-based financial intuitions in these schemes – I happened to be studying abroad at Oxford at the time – and I was dumbfounded.
The Laboratories of Financial Secrecy
Fighting Kleptocracy The Laboratories of Financial Secrecy Bryce Tuttle Every day that goes by more dirty money flows through the United States, but the American people are in control of the tap. If they choose, they can switch it off. Published on: September 8, 2020 Bryce Tuttle is a recent graduate of Stanford University, where he earned a BA in Political Science with Honors in Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law.
LABORATORIES OF SECRECY: Why Some U.S. States Have Sold Their Sovereignty to Criminals and Kleptocrats
Despite its reputation for the toughest anti-money laundering (AML) enforcement in the world, the United States remains the leading jurisdiction for the incorporation of anonymous shell companies used in grand corruption schemes. States like Delaware and Nevada have become notorious secrecy jurisdictions, frequently used by criminals and kleptocrats for money laundering.
Praise for China’s COVID-19 response is misguided and misleading
We write in response to Ravi Veriah Jacques’s March 18 article “Coronavirus has vindicated China, exposed the West.” We share his concerns about COVID-19. But his effusive praise of China’s response to the novel coronavirus is misguided, and his argument contains numerous inaccuracies.
Losing spring | The Stanford Daily
Last night, I got an invite to a Facebook event directed at seniors. It was titled “Spring quarter.” “Let’s figure this out. In this time of trouble, we come together as a student body- not to complain, nay, but to figure out a solution. The administration can do whatever they want, but they can’t stop this train. This facebook event is intended to be a positive one! No complaining allowed. ONLY SOLUTIONS. Seniors, we have been looking forward to this quarter since the moment we got here.
Delays and broken promises
At the end of last year, Diontrey Thompson (no longer at Stanford) and Vice Provost Susie Brubaker-Cole made a commitment. They promised that groups at Stanford who have asked for a community center would get the chance to apply for one in a fair, open and transparent process. Last winter, Brubaker-Cole convened a committee, led by Thompson and comprised of students, faculty and staff, to design this process.
