The Curse of Bigness: Antitrust in the New Gilded Age is a concise nonfiction work of legal and economic history by Tim Wu, a Columbia law professor known for writing about power, media, and technology. The book examines the rise, decline, and possible renewal of American antitrust enforcement, using the history of the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Progressive Era, and modern corporate consolidation to argue that concentrated private power can threaten competition and democracy alike. Wu writes for a broad general audience rather than legal specialists, and one of the book’s main strengths is its accessibility: it explains complex ideas about monopoly, mergers, and market structure in clear, compact prose. The book is not simply a history of antitrust law; it is also a warning about the political consequences of tolerating extreme bigness in industries such as finance, pharmaceuticals, and technology. Its purpose is to show why antitrust should again be treated as a serious democratic tool, not a narrow technical doctrine.
