Joe Biden's executive order specified 72 initiatives and the creation of a new competition council

On July 9th President Joe Biden indicated that he identifies fully with the critics. That was when he signed an executive order arguing that a lack of competition had been increasing prices for consumers and squashing wages for workers, and stating that the federal government would not stand for it. Casting himself as a latter-day Roosevelt , Mr Biden vowed that the whole federal government would devote itself to “address over-concentration, monopolisation and unfair competition”.

Mr Biden wants the Federal Trade Commission , which has broad but conservatively employed authority to limit anticompetitive behaviour, to ban or limit this practice. He also wants theto end needless occupational licensing, onerous rules that turn some professions into glorified guilds. To be a certified interior designer in California, for instance, you must have more than six years of experience and pass an exam.
