About the Speaker: 

Barry C. Lynn is Director of the Markets, Enterprise, and Resiliency Initiative at the New America Foundation, and a Senior Fellow in the Foundation’s Economic Growth Program. He is the author of Cornered: The New Monopoly Capitalism and the Economics of Destruction and End of the Line: The Rise and Coming Fall of the Global Corporation.

Lynn's articles regularly appear in publications including The Financial Times, The National Interest, Harvard Business Review and Harper’s. He has been invited to present his work to high officials in Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Taiwan and the European Commission, as well as in the White House and US Treasury Department.

About the Speech:

Barry C. Lynn’s groundbreaking writings on industrial interdependence among nations and the growing fragility of global supply systems have attracted wide attention, while his research on the political and economic effects of the extreme consolidation of power in American and European economies has influenced the thinking of policymakers and antitrust/competition professionals on both sides of the Atlantic.

His presentation touched on both these issues, while focusing on the threats posed by the 'new monopolies' and how competition policy must be adapted to deal with them.

Praise for Barry C. Lynn’s Cornered:

This book should be read by the Minister for Enterprise and Employment, and by the EU Competition Commissioner, so that they can draw up new and transparent guidelines for competition policy that will ensure no entity is ever again allowed to become too big to fail, that free enterprise means free entry to all markets, and cosy cartels become a thing of the past.

–   John Bruton, former Taoiseach and EU Ambassador to the US; Chairman of IFSC Ireland.
