Dynamic Antitrust Discussion Series: Commissioner Noah Phillips

Dynamic Antitrust Discussion Series: Commissioner Noah Phillips
Wednesday, August 10, 2022

Event Summary

Federal Trade Commissioner Noah Phillips informed President Biden this week that he intends to resign his post this fall. Phillips recently sat down with Aurelien Portuese, director of ITIF’s Schumpeter Project on Competition Policy, to discuss Phillips’ experiences at the FTC.

Their conversation, which was pre-recorded as part of the Schumpeter Project’s discussion series on “Dynamic Antitrust,” covered Phillips’ views on free enterprise, liberty, and the process of creative destruction; what the life of a federal trade commissioner is like; his personal background—and what his future might hold.

Commissioner Phillips has contributed invaluably to the FTC as a sound and rational voice for the institution. He has also been highly accessible and humble, always keen to engage in intellectual debates and work across ideological lines to improve U.S. institutions while remaining committed to the fundamental principles of liberty, free enterprise, and well-functioning markets.
