Why are there so many proposals to break up Big Tech, and what impact would that have? PPI's Director of Technology Policy Alec Stapp joins the podcast to discuss the recent antitrust bills in Congress aimed at the biggest tech companies in the US. We discuss which bills make sense and which don't, what members of congress don't seem to get about platforms, how these bills would impact foreign policy, and what's really driving the animus towards tech firms.

It's the two year anniversary of Jeremiah's kidney donation, and in this episode he makes the argument that you, the listener, should also consider donating. Jeremiah discusses why kidney disease is such a large problem, how much good a donated kidney can do, and why the risks of donation are minimal. He also answers commonly asked questions about the logistics of giving up a kidney, and argues that listeners should seriously think about doing it themselves.

Virginia Postrel, author of The Fabric of Civilization, joins the show for a wide ranging conversation. We discuss the history of cloths, textiles, and fabrics as detailed in her recent book, and why the history of fabrics is often the same thing as the history of technology. We also discuss dynamic vs static attitudes toward the economy and society, the relationship between textiles and economic development, theories of how and why industrialization occurs, and the ins and outs of kidney donation. It's hard to recap every subject we touch on, but this episode is definitely worth your time.
