In this seminar, Michelle Meagher will look back at historic attempts to rein in the corporation, with a focus on corporate and antitrust law, and review contemporary efforts to reinvigorate anti-monopoly amongst regulators and civil society. The seminar will also explore the capacity of the corporation to accumulate wealth and subvert the law and consider how this should impact our choice of strategy.

Michelle is a competition lawyer and has previously worked in private practice, for regulators, and international institutions. She is the author of Competition is Killing Us, a book about corporate power and accountability and the myths embedded in free market capitalism and shareholder primacy, which was one the Financial Times' Best Economics Books of 2020. Michelle is also a Senior Policy Fellow at UCL Centre for Law, Economics and Society, co-founder of the Balanced Economy Project, an international anti-monopoly alliance, and the Inclusive Competition Forum, an academic think tank.
