Sandeep Vaheesan Testifies Before the House Committee on Financial Services
Open Markets Institute Legal Director Sandeep Vaheesan testified at a hybrid House Financial Services Committee hearing entitled, “The Inflation Equation: Corporate Profiteering, Supply Chain Bottlenecks, and COVID-19.”
Vaheesan discussed the impacts of lax anti-merger policy on inflation and how strengthening it can help constrain corporate pricing power and encourage investment in the industrial base, instead of the zero-sum game of buying, combining, and swapping existing business assets.
