You may have thought monopolies were a thing of the past: robber barons in top hats overseeing empires of steel or oil conglomerates. But as Robert Reich explains in this new video, monopoly power is very much alive and well in America today. From toothpaste to airlines, beef to Amazon, the monopolization of our economy is making life worse for the vast majority of us while enriching the very few. Watch and share the video by Reich, then read The Nation’s special issue on monopolies.

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.
