Description

Must watch podcast!My conversation with Dr. Greg Werden, formerly Senior Economic Counsel at the hashtag#DOJ [https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23doj&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED] in the antitrust division, where he drafted over a hundred briefs filed in the appellate courts or the Supreme Court. He is the only recipient of the Department 's Mary C. Lawton Lifetime Service award. He has authored a book titled "The Foundations of Antitrust: Events, Ideas, and Doctrines" (Carolina Academic Press). We discuss the ongoing Google [https://www.linkedin.com/company/google/] antitrust case, focusing on the remedies proposed by the court. We explore the implications of Judge Mehta's rulings, the nature of exclusive contracts, and the economic impact of Google's business practices. The conversation delves into the complexities of antitrust law, the challenges of divestiture of Chrome and Android, and the potential future of competition in the tech industry. Furthermore, I draw from the expertise of Dr. Werden to discuss the implications of Google's scale advantage in the context of antitrust law, particularly focusing on exclusive dealing and the long tail of search queries. Finally, we discuss Judge Mehta's remedy opinion, the impact of AI on search and competition, and the historical context of antitrust cases. The discussion also touches on the political implications surrounding Google's monopoly and the future of its business model.
