America's Major Market Power Problem

Show page available at: https://ilsr.org/market-power-problem-episode-13-of-the-building-local-power-podcast. In this episode, Stacy Mitchell of our Community-Scaled Economies initiative runs down the reality that large, consolidated companies have extremely negative effects on the small business culture of the United States. She and host Christopher Mitchell discuss the bottoming out rate of small business creation in the latest economic recovery [01:45], how independent bookstores are bucking this trend [05:05], the partisanship of pro-small business policy on the national versus the local level [15:38], and the two give their reading recommendations [21:53].
