As Justice Breyer prepares to retire from the Supreme Court, Briahna spoke to author and anti-trust expert Matt Stoller about the pox he's been on anti-trust jurisprudence, how pro-competition, anti-monopolistic, solidly American sentiments were quashed by Harvard & Chicago School law and economics scholars in the 1970s, and how a lack of anti-trust regulation is at the root of ongoing crises, including spiking meat prices.
