Global Antitrust Paradox? Luncheon

There is a growing consensus that the United States’ primary geopolitical challenge in the 21st century is competition with China. Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to significantly impact the future of U.S.-China competition on both the trade and military fronts. However, overzealous antitrust enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice is threatening American innovation in new technologies, reducing U.S. competitiveness abroad.

Join us for lunch to discuss a recently published study by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, “The Global Antitrust Paradox?”, which examines the effects of increased antitrust scrutiny on American industry and national security.

When: 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm
Wednesday, August 7, 2024
