Annals of Anti-Monopoly: I will be in DC on 25 September to give a talk at George Mason University. The public is invited. Teaser: why was George Washington furious at the reactionary politics of his fellow Virginian George Mason? Was Washington on to something? Is it time to…cancel George Mason?

Annals of anti-monopoly: “[Brandeis] wanted government action not only to destroy bigness but affirmatively to protect smallness—even, if necessary, at expense of competition.” Schlesinger, _Politics of Upheaval_p. 388.
