Gellhorn, Kovacic, and Calkins' Antitrust Law and Economics in a Nutshell enhances understanding of antitrust laws, and includes the latest Supreme Court cases. This reliable guide on antitrust law gives special attention to the expanded role of evidentiary standards and the procedural screens in determining litigation outcomes. A look into recent revisions of public enforcement, immunity-related doctrines, and government intervention is also included.
Americans have long appealed to images of free competition in calling for free enterprise, freedom of contract, free labor, free trade, and free speech. This imagery has retained its appeal in myriad aspects of public policy--for example, Senator Sherman's Anti-Trust Act of 1890, Justice Holmes's metaphorical marketplace of ideas, and President Reagan's rhetoric of deregulation. In Competition Policy in America, 1888-1992, Rudolph Peritz explores the durability of free competition imagery by tracing its influences on public policy.
A former top antitrust officer at the U.S. Department of Justice and a noted economist guide readers through the increasingly complex antitrust laws.
