Lina Khan is the youngest-ever chair of the Federal Trade Commission .

Under her leadership, the FTC has brought antitrust cases against tech giants Meta , Amazon and Microsoft .

The agency has tried to ban almost all noncompete clauses and blocked Lockheed Martin and Nvidia from multibillion-dollar deals.

Lina Khan : If you're not enforcing antitrust, you’re allowing decades of consolidation that can create inflationary spikes more readily.

A more concentrated market, when you have fewer players, is more easily going to be able to coordinate to hike prices or keep prices high.

Khan : I can’t predict what’s going to happen in November , or after that.
