AMY KLOBUCHAR is the senior senator from Minnesota, the first woman from that state to be elected to the U.S. Senate. She was born in Plymouth, Minnesota, and graduated from Yale University and the University of Chicago Law School. She lives in Minneapolis, MN.
“An impressive work of scholarship, deeply researched . . . highly
informative and surprisingly readable in the bargain.”—Liaquat
Ahamed, The New York Times Book Review
“Senators rarely write books, and when they do, they tend to be
political memoirs. But Klobuchar’s Antitrust is a serious and
important contribution that will help build momentum for reform . .
. Throughout, she references her own proposed legislation on the
topic. And as Klobuchar is chair of the Judiciary Committee’s
subcommittee on competition policy, antitrust, and consumer rights,
her proposals are likely to be one of the starting points for
reform.”—The New Republic
“Methodical . . . Klobuchar furnishes an overview of the evolution
of U.S. anti-monopoly law and a call for rebalancing the
relationship between capital and labor. She condemns corporate
consolidation and wealth concentration, and views lax antitrust
enforcement as antithetical to democracy.”—The Guardian
“A thorough history of trustbusting in America and an urgent plea
for stricter enforcement . . . a diligently researched history
lesson and a well thought out plan, meticulously delineated . . .
staggeringly detailed . . . solid, sharp, articulate work.”—Kirkus
(starred review)
“Klobuchar reviews past monopolies, starting with a certain tea
party, and continuing through the Gilded Age and the Sherman Act to
current day, providing plenty of social, political, and legislative
context . . . She argues for swift, sweeping reform in economic,
legislative, social welfare, and human rights policies. A steady
stream of period political cartoons help keep things lively, and
her style is engaging and energetic.”—Booklist (starred review)
