Project 2029: Why Regulation Will Make Democrats Popular Again

In part two of Project 2029: A Reimagining, Molly Jong-Fast explores how regulation and antitrust enforcement are crucial tools for defending the American public against unchecked private power. Featuring interviews with prominent policymakers and legal experts like Lina Kahn, Alvaro Bedoya, Doha Mekki, and Elizabeth Wilkins, the episode delves into how monopolistic corporations use their power to raise prices, suppress wages, and stifle competition—hurting workers, consumers, and small businesses alike. The discussion highlights how regulation is not an abstract burden but a set of rules that can ensure fairness, protect individual rights, and preserve economic freedom. It also underscores the political and institutional challenges regulators face, from lobbying influence to overly cautious governance, while making the case that bold, timely, and targeted action by government can restore trust and deliver tangible benefits to everyday Americans.
