Description

These essays challenge the prevailing view that antitrust legislation is no longer relevant and argue instead that antitrust, progressively construed and adapted to today's economic realities, remains the most promising national economic policy for the USA. Topics covered include the impact of underenforcement of antitrust law in the 1980s, the implications of global markets and competition, theoretical advances, and the future of antitrust.
