Democratic FTC Chair Lina Khan has ties to the Law and Political Economy (LPE) Project, a Marxist group that supported pro-Palestinian protesters at the Columbia University camp.
Mr. Khan currently serves as Chairman and Associate of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Professor The Columbia University Law School Ph.D., who is currently on leave from his current position, reportedly helped LPE Project faculty co-director and Yale professor Amy Kapczynski “plan” the first LPE seminar. It is being
In the Summer 2023 Yale Law Report, Kapczynski said: talked About the goals of LPE exercise:
Our goal is to develop new intellectual theories and approaches to understanding our legal order and to develop proposals that will substantively benefit more equality and democracy. There is a new peer-reviewed journal, the Journal of Law and Political Economy, and LPE research is regularly published in prestigious law journals. We currently also host large conferences and symposiums dedicated to LPE ideas and his LPE scholars in the Washington administration. Among them is Lina Khan ’17, who heads the Federal Trade Commission and is part of a group of Yale students who helped design my first girlfriend’s LPE. Seminar. Interest in this work is very noticeable. It is now fairly common to hear that LPE is the next new school of legal thought.
According to Kapczynski, Kapczynski spent her formative years studying “political theory” along with other “forms of critical thinking” such as “the Frankfurt School, queer theory, postcolonial theory, psychoanalytic theory, and Marxist feminist thought.” “It has said. LPE project Website.
Frankfurt School of Critical Theory explained It is described as a “gathering of social scientists and researchers” interested in Marxism, philosophy, and the “applied” aspects of society.
The first anti-Israel camp was set up at Columbia University on April 17, and several students were suspended and hundreds of protesters were arrested the next day. The university removed the military post, but another was set up in its place, until the New York City Police Department (NYPD) raided it on Tuesday after protesters occupied Hamilton Hall, an academic building on campus. It was left as is.
Since then, anti-Israel protests and camps have occurred on university campuses in support of the original protests that began at Columbia University.
Kapczynski shared: post From the LPE project. Current and former Law School students from Yale Law School, New York University (NYU) School of Law participate in his LPE student group, and student organizations such as City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law. Students Against Genocide and Columbia Law Students for Palestine (CLSP) shared their thoughts on anti-Israel protests and encampments.
“Everyone is talking about the student movement. But *surprisingly* there is very little information from the student organizers themselves,” Kapczynski wrote. post At X, she shared a link to the LPE project. “We asked several people to explain their objectives and concerns. If you’re going to read anything about today’s protests, read this.”

This is not Khan’s first involvement in an LPE project. In July 2022, Khan and FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter spoke at an event hosted by the LPE Project.
During the event, the two spoke about “anti-racist antitrust laws” and how the FTC can “shape markets and economic outcomes.”
Just recently, one day, event LPE Project, Yale Law School LPE Student Group, American Constitution Society, Yale Law Democratic Party, Yale University Solomon Center for Health Law and PolicyYale University information society project In March, Mr. Kahn praised Mr. Kapczynski, saying it was “an honor to speak to him.”
First of all, I would like to say that I am very honored to be here. I actually learned about antitrust law in this class. It looks like Robert Bork’s portrait is still there. I also took an Intellectual Property Law class with Professor Kapczynski, and it was especially great to have this conversation with her, as she is a source of inspiration and admiration, and of course an important leader in her LPE movement. It’s an honor. Mr Khan said.
Breitbart News reached out to Khan for a statement but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
