Matt Stoller has published dozens of whiny posts about supposed monopolies. Yet, he has yet to once mention the "consumer welfare standard" [1] because it would blow the thesis apart in every single post. [1] https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amattstoller.substack....

An excellent backgrounder on how the shift to an exclusive focus on "consumer welfare" came to be, watch or listen to "This is Neoibeeralism":

Bork's tedious tome on antitrust was birthed directly from Aaron Director's Antitrust Project at the University of Chicago. (Bork credits Director fatuously in his introductin.)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

We know what happens, the question is why is it allowed?

Apple did it 10x worse with their iphone apps and now no one cares anymore.

Apple is not a monopoly.

I believe Apple folks recently said it's actually good to have Android around, so it prevents them to be under anti-monopoly laws.

Substack = Medium x LinkedIn

Yeah I’m confused. What is this substack and how did it become so prevalent so fast? Or maybe there are more substack posts on HN these days?
