Open Markets

Open Markets Institute’s mission is to help people relearn how to use competition policy to build stronger democracies, more just and equitable societies, more innovative and sustainable economies, and a more secure and peaceful world. Its goal is to expose the dangers of concentrated power and control, identify changes in policy and law to address them, and collaborate with influential stakeholders to establish open, competitive, and stable market systems.

The Open Markets Institute is a team of journalists, researchers, lawyers, economists, and advocates working together to expose and reverse the hold that corporate monopolies have over the American economy and democracy. With deep expertise in how monopoly power distorts outcomes in major markets, ranging from the technology sector to agriculture to pharmaceuticals to transportation, Open Markets combines policy, legal, and market structure expertise with sophisticated communications and outreach efforts. The institute seeks not only to hold today’s monopolies accountable for abuse of power, but to build an economic system where progress is easier to achieve, because power is far more widely and equitably distributed.
