Barry C Lynn

Barry C Lynn is Executive Director of the Open Markets Institute in Washington. He is author of Cornered (Wiley 2010) and End of the Line (Doubleday 2005), and his work has been profiled in The New York Times, Politico, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, and CBS. Mr Lynn and his team have taken the lead in illuminating America’s new monopoly problem, and in detailing how to protect our democracy from concentrated power. He and other members of OMI work closely with political leaders from both parties, and with antimonopoly enforcers in the United States and Europe. Mr Lynn’s work on the flaws in the international trading system – especially the fragility of key supply chains – has been widely studied in Europe, Asia, and throughout the US government.

Prior to launching OMI, Mr Lynn worked at the New America Foundation for 15 years. Before that he was Executive Editor of Global Business Magazine and a correspondent for the Associated Press and Agence France Presse in South America and the Caribbean.
