Description

Industrial consolidation, digital platforms, and changing political views have spurred debate about the interplay between public and private power in the United States and have created a bipartisan appetite for potential antitrust reform that would mark the most profound shift in US competition policy in the past half-century. While neo-Brandeisians call for a reawakening of antitrust in the form of a return to structuralism and a concomitant rejection of economic analysis founded on competitive effects, proponents of the status quo look on this state of affairs with alarm. Scrutinizing the latest evidence, Alan J. Devlin finds a middle ground. US antitrust laws warrant revision, he argues, but with far more nuance than current debates suggest. He offers a new vision of antitrust reform, achieved by refining our enforcement policies and jettisoning an unwarranted obsession with minimizing errors of economic analysis.

A nuanced examination of how antitrust law must change to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century economy.

Reviews
'Reforming Antitrust is a delightfully detailed narrative of the policy topic du jour, drawing on first-hand experience and empirical evidence to bring to life the often academically wonkish field of Competition Law. Reflecting on the aspects of antitrust policy that have worked well over the past thirty years and explaining how an error cost framework could help antitrust policy work better, this book is a must-read for public policy makers and academics.' Elizabeth M. Bailey, NERA
'Well-written and engaging even to the lay reader, this new volume is a must-read for anyone interested in antitrust reform. Devlin charts a careful middle course between our current weakened system of antitrust enforcement and the calls for radical reform coming from many quarters today. This is a book with the potential to make the world a better place.' Mark A. Lemley, Stanford Law School

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
