520    Why are cellphone plans so much more expensive in the 
       United States than in Europe? It seems a simple question. 
       But the search for an answer took Thomas Philippon on an 
       unexpected journey through some of the most complex and 
       hotly debated issues in modern economics. Ultimately, he 
       reached a surprising conclusion: American markets, once a 
       model for the world, are giving up on healthy competition.
       Sector after economic sector is more concentrated than it 
       was twenty years ago, dominated by fewer and bigger 
       players who lobby politicians aggressively to protect and 
       expand their profit margins. Across the country, this 
       drives up prices while driving down investment, 
       productivity, growth, and wages, resulting in more 
       inequality. Meanwhile, Europe-long dismissed for 
       competitive sclerosis and weak antitrust-is beating 
       America at its own game. Philippon, one of the world's 
       leading financial economists, did not expect these 
       conclusions in the age of Silicon Valley start-ups and 
       millennial millionaires. But the data from his cutting-
       edge research proved undeniable. In this compelling tale 
       of economic detective work, we follow him as he works out 
       the basic facts and consequences of industry concentration
       in the U.S. and Europe, shows how lobbying and campaign 
       contributions have defanged antitrust regulators, and 
       considers what all this means for free trade, technology, 
       and innovation. For the sake of ordinary Americans, he 
       concludes, government needs to return to what it once did 
       best: keeping the playing field level for competition.
