Goliath

Praise for Goliath

"Goliath shows that a history of antitrust in the United States is ultimately a story about who we are as Americans, the limits we can place on private power, and the government's ability to be a force for fairness and justice. The breadth and depth contained in this book are unlike any book written on the topic in recent memory—it is the kind of big e onomic history that the moment needs."

— Chris Hughes, Co-Founder of Facebook

“Goliath is an impressive and fun book telling the long-forgotten but critical history of how freedom, not just from coercive government but from coercive corporate monopolies, is an essential part of American business.”

— Jeremy Stoppelman, CEO of Yelp

"Matt Stoller's Goliath is a remarkable and fun story about corporate power in America. Stoller brings to life pivotal political fights over banks and monopolies, fights that took place in board rooms, in hearing rooms, and in mass protests. Highly recommended."

— Henry Waxman, former United States congressman

“Matt Stoller has written a fascinating, deeply researched and almost hypnotic tale of the often tense relationship between corporate power and democracy. It has obvious parallels to where we are today, and lessons to be learned as we work to once again make democracy work for the people. Stoller’s documentation of this lost history is more important than ever as we deal with the effects of the financial crisis and deep-seated poverty, the growing power of technology companies and the extraordinary gap that exists today between the richest few and everybody else."

— Pramila Jayapal, United States congresswoman
