Addressing the challenges posed by corporate power requires a multifaceted approach that empowers citizens and strengthens regulatory frameworks.

• Antitrust Enforcement:Strengthening antitrust laws and enforcing them vigorously is crucial to prevent monopolies from forming and abusing their power.
• Public Ownership:In certain sectors, such as public utilities and healthcare, public ownership can ensure essential services are provided in the public interest.

li>Consumer Advocacy:Educating consumers about the dangers of monopolies and encouraging them to support businesses that promote competition is vital.

• Political Action:Engaging in the political process and supporting candidates who champion antitrust reform and corporate accountability is essential for long-term change.
