In this episode of Open Minds, Andrew Ferguson discusses his career, from judicial clerkships to the Hill to state government, and how the mentors and friends he made along the way helped shape his career and intellectual development.

Andrew Ferguson and James Burnham then turn to the questions of the moment. What role can state solicitors general play in curtailing government overreach? What is antitrust law? How did a bipartisan consensus on antitrust doctrine develop? How well does it align with original understanding of older antitrust statutes? And where might antitrust thinking be headed next?

Featuring:

  • Andrew N. Ferguson, Commissioner, Federal Trade Commission
  • James M. Burnham, President, Vallecito Capital, LLC
