I'm curious what libertarians / sound-money folk think about Lina Kahn, Biden's chair of the FTC. I don't know much about her other than she supposedly takes a pretty aggressive trust-busting stance. I think run-of-the-mill conservatives like the WSJ Opinion Pages don't like her, but what do libertarians think?
I'm not familiar with her, specifically, but libertarians generally see anti-trust laws as statist nonsense: i.e.
- Price gauging = charging more
- Collusion = charging the same
- Predatory pricing = charging less
The libertarian solution to monopolies is to remove all of their state protections. Very few monopolies have ever persisted in a free market environment.
