# Barry Lynn Journalist turned institution-builder who kept the American anti-monopoly argument alive through the years nobody was making it. *End of the Line* (2005) argued that globalized just-in-time supply chains had created single points of failure invisible to any price-based analysis — an argument vindicated in 2020 and 2021. *Cornered* (2010) documented concentration across consumer industries a decade before it became a mainstream concern. He built the Open Markets Program inside the New America Foundation and hired the researchers — [[Lina Khan]] among them — who wrote the movement's founding texts. In 2017, after his team published praise for a European antitrust ruling against Google, New America severed the program; Google was one of its largest funders. Lynn relaunched it as the independent [[Open Markets Institute]]. The episode is cited constantly in [[New Brandeis Movement]] writing because it is the argument in miniature: a think tank research program lost its home over a press release about a funder. Whether or not one accepts the more pointed accounts of what happened, the structural fact — that the money and the research were in the same building — is the point. > Stub — fill out.
