Authers' Notes: Does the U.S. Have an Oligopoly Problem?

Welcome to Authers’ Notes, our Bloomberg book club, where senior markets editor John Authers leads conversations with the authors of great books about the world of business and finance. In the latest installment, he covered "The Myth of Capitalism: Monopolies and the Death of Competition" by Jonathan Tepper and Denise Hearn. John was joined by the authors and also Tara Lachapelle, a columnist for Bloomberg Opinion.

Below is a complete transcript of discussion in the order they were originally posted. And if your curiosity about the book club demands further reading, check out our previous discussions: "The Case for People’s Quantitative Easing" by Frances Coppola, "Red Flags" by George Magnus, and "Dear Chairman: Boardroom Battles and the Rise of Shareholder Activism" by Jeff Gramm.
