A Personal Thank You to Lina Khan-From the Other Side of the Atlantic

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 😁

ROME, ITALY - When I started studying antitrust law at university, I thought it was about fairness, discovery processes, and the democracy of opportunities. What I actually found was more of an economic comedy, scripted by the Chicago School, with the help of crafty and unscrupulous lawyers, where monopolies were presented as harmless, even benevolent giants. For anyone with common sense, it was obviously a farce-or worse.

Then you and a few others showed up, Lina. You quietly pointed out the absurdity and called the game for what it was: unchecked economic power stifles innovation, pushes up prices, exploits workers, and steadily erodes democracy.

You fought hard, achieved a lot, and didn't get nearly enough time. Maybe it was already too late.

Thank you, Lina. You made antitrust law, for a brief period (?), exciting again-reviving it from its cursed sleep. And that, in itself, is nothing short of miraculous.
