Antitrust is a body of law and policy designed to promote economic competition by regulating monopolistic functions and this book is a philosophical study of concepts that lie at the foundation of antitrust law. Although there are many legal and economic books on the subject, it is unique in its philosophical scrutiny of basic concepts. The volume is primarily directed at students, theorists and practitioners of antitrust, but will also be useful to lawyers, economists, philosophers, political scientists and others who have an interest in the discipline.
- A comprehensive philosophical treatment of antitrust
- Substantially raises the standard of rigour in the analysis of concepts in antitrust
- Presents unorthodox views, e.g. that competition cannot be justified by its effects on welfare
