Break 'em Up: Recovering Our Freedom from Big Ag, Big Tech, and Big Money by Zephyr Teachout

5.0

There are a bunch of book about monopolies and antitrust but none combine so clear an explanation of how corporate monopolies harm average people, the forces behind the problem with antitrust laws as they have (not been) enforced, and easy-to-understand common sense suggestions about what to do (without overstating the promises of antitrust enforcement -- which is particularly important in cases such as the tech sector where the concerns that people have about privacy etc. will probably have to be addressed through different regulatory approaches).

The chapter on farming/ag and the "chickenization' of the rest of the economy is particularly good and gains from her experience growing up in a rural community. The contractual restraints on farmers (e.g. prohibition on discussing the terms with other farmers) are ridiculous.
