Mash of the Titans: The Push for Monopoly in Music & Media
Monopoly is back, like a lame song that’s stuck in your head. The impacts of corporate consolidation are rippling through many different sectors, including the music and entertainment industries. Competition policy and antitrust law are tough to wrap our heads around, but if we’re interested in a future built on access and entrepreneurship we need to figure out a way to talk about it. How does a tendency towards monopoly create economic, expressive and civic inequalities? What does the “vertical integration” of large media companies, Internet Service Providers and telecommunications giants mean for the future of music and media? What do independent artists, innovators and the public need to know about these pernicious power plays? Barry C. Lynn is director of the Open Markets program at the New America Foundation and the author of two books, End of the Line and Cornered, the latter of which describes the dramatic return of monopoly to the American landscape. Both books and Lynn’s periodic articles in Harper’s Magazine describe the concentration of economic power across a range of industries. Salon.com columnist Thomas Frank is a political analyst, historian, and journalist whose books include The Conquest of Cool, One Market Under God and What’s the Matter With Kansas. Join them for a special conversation about a topic that will no doubt impact how you go about your own lives and careers.
