What is it? How does it relate to you? Everything you need to know about President Biden’s July 9th Executive Order and how to share your story with policymakers.
On July 9, 2021 President Biden issued the Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy, which marked a significant turning point in the government’s recent approach to monopolies and antitrust issues. For more than 40 years, policymakers on both sides of the aisle turned a blind eye to consolidation within industries, but Biden’s Executive Order signalled a desire (and a concrete plan) to combat the rising power of dominant firms and barriers to fair markets. The Order’s Fact Sheet is available here.
