Samuel Milner is a scholar of American economic and legal history, with a focus on antitrust and business regulation. His recently published book, Robbing Peter to Pay Paul: Power, Profits, and Productivity in Modern America, examines how corporate management has historically understood its power to distribute income to its stakeholders and the ways in which public policy has responded to the exercise of that discretion. He holds a J.D., with highest honors, from the University of Chicago Law School and a Ph.D. in economic history from Yale University, where he was previously a Lecturer in the Department of History.
