Antitrust Law

This book is an effort to consolidate several different perspectives on antitrust law. First Professor Hylton presents a detailed description of the law as it has developed through numerous judicial opinions. Second the author presents detailed economic critiques of the judicial opinions drawing heavily on the literature in law and economics journals. Third Professor Hylton integrates a jurisprudential perspective into the analysis that looks at antitrust as a vibrant field of common law. This last perspective leads the author to address issues of certainty stability and predictability in antitrust law and to examine the pressures shaping its evolution. The combination of these three perspectives offers something new to every student of antitrust law. Specific topics covered include perfect competition versus monopoly enforcement cartels section 1 doctrine rule of reason agreement boycott power vertical restraints tying and exclusive dealing horizontal mergers and conglomerates.
