Description
Explore the intricate landscape of antitrust law with “Cases and Materials on Modern Antitrust Law and Its Origins, 7th Edition.” This comprehensive textbook meticulously organizes landmark cases across four pivotal eras, providing invaluable context and insight for law students and academics alike.
The first segment spans a transformative 25-year period from 1890 to 1914, a time when many of today’s key legal issues were first anticipated. Following that, the text delves into a significant 25 years from 1915 to 1939, where the ‘rule of reason’ compelled courts to closely examine the actual repercussions of various business practices on market competition. The narrative continues through a crucial 35-year period from 1940 to 1975, characterized by the emergence of the per se rule and a marked focus on industry concentration as primary analytical frameworks. Finally, the modern era, exceeding 40 years, is presented as a synthesis of the insights garnered from the second and third periods.
In this updated Seventh Edition, you will discover the latest major shifts in antitrust law and policy motivated by the current leaders of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Antitrust Division at the Department of Justice. It incorporates thought-provoking questions following numerous contemporary cases, encouraging students to critically assess proposed changes in the field. This historical framework, employed by the authors, proves particularly beneficial for students, especially as new leadership expresses a desire to revisit the antitrust philosophical approach endorsed by the Supreme Court before 1974.
Additionally, the book encompasses all crucial recent judicial opinions, including landmark Supreme Court cases such as Ohio v. American Express and NCAA v. Alston, alongside the D.C. Circuit’s decisive ruling in U.S. v. AT&T.
This insightful text serves as an essential resource for anyone studying modern antitrust law, blending historical context with contemporary developments.
