FTC Chair (Lina Khan Perspective) — Federal Agency

**Lina Khan** served as Chair of the **Federal Trade Commission (FTC)** from 2021 to 2025. She was nominated at age 32, making her the youngest FTC Chair in history. She is best known for her 2017 Yale Law Journal article "Amazon's Antitrust Paradox," which argued that the prevailing consumer welfare standard in antitrust law is inadequate to address the market power of platform monopolies. That paper launched the "New Brandeis" movement in antitrust thinking and reshaped how regulators, academics, and legislators think about Big Tech market power.
