Thank you to everyone who tuned in to our live discussion with former FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya on independent agencies, economic freedom, and the state of American democracy.
Here’s Alvaro’s piece in The New Republic: How I became a populist.
Not everyone is going to agree completely with Alvaro’s prescription for how to improve our democracy, but it’s clear we need to be having these conversations. If you found this discussion helpful, please share it with others. And let us know what you think in the comments — your feedback is useful as we plan future livestreams.
For more on Protect Democracy’s ongoing lawsuit to protect independent agencies like the FTC from illegal purges, see here.
On why this all is so consequential, read Amit Agarwal and Blake Jelley: The existential legal fight over independent agencies.
The case will be before the Supreme Court in December.
We’ll have more for you then.
