While I would also pump the brakes a bit on any particular effort, the Biden administration is pushing back against the dominate thinking of "antitrust bad" that emerged in the 70s. I believe he's made a lot of appointments reflecting that, which hasn't happened since the Carter administration.
What kicked off that shift? Robert Bork's 1978 book The Antitrust Paradox, which is yes that Robert Bork. I honestly think people could use more knowledge about the sausage is made when it comes to government.
