| Summary |
"This book offers a timely and critical evaluation of the Chicago School approach to antitrust law. The authors discuss the economic foundations of competition policy and the different ways in which both American and European competition law does - or does not - take account of economic insights. Although the book makes no claim to provide a definitive answer to the host of questions arising from the complexities of antitrust, it does offer an important contribution to a better understanding of the many 'interfaces' between economic thinking and sound legal policy." "This book provides a timely appraisal of developments in antitrust law. It will be a challenging read for a host of academics, practitioners and policymakers including industrial and political economists, lawyers, regulators and corporate strategists."--BOOK JACKET |
