2014 New York Governor's race: on Corporations


Zephyr Teachout: Apply anti-trust rules to corporate political power

Teachout published earlier this year a paper entitled, "Corporate Rules and Political Rules: Antitrust as Campaign Finance Reform". This paper argues that antitrust legislation can be seen as a form of indirect campaign finance reform by limiting the power of corporations to influence elections. For Teachout, caps on the size of corporations must be understood in their original politico-economic sense. In her account, the cost-benefit model of monopolies ushered in by the Chicago school of legal economics obscured the political dimension of antitrust legislation. She argues for a recovery of an older legal framework of antitrust that expands jurisdiction to cover cases where the economies of scale in political power created by large corporations is justification for trustbusting.
