Summary:
"This is a book for people who practice antitrust law and for people who want to learn antitrust. For practitioners, the book supplements a treatise. For students, the book complements a casebook. It goes beyond what courts have said and done to probe the ethos, logos, and pathos of antitrust; it present the foundations of antitrust in law, history, and economics. This also could be a book for people who take an interest in antitrust policy. Antitrust law was a populist impulse. After a century during which antitrust has grown ever more technocratic, antitrust is again a matter of public interest"-- Provided by the publisher.
