Synopsis

This Understanding treatise is designed to supplement any antitrust casebook. When the first edition was published over twenty years ago, the Supreme Court was in the midst of reshaping antitrust law to reflect its philosophy that it should adhere to the teachings of economics.

The new sixth edition includes the following highlights:

• Implications concerning the use of leverage
• Bundled discounts
• Post-Leegin vertical restraints
• New merger guidelines
• Relevance of the Robinson and Patman Act
• Summary judgment consequences
• Strategies associated with delaying entry into a market
• Insights into whether the goal of antitrust is efficiency or consumer welfare
• Conflicting opinions on whether the Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act focuses on an antitrust claim or a jurisdictional issue.

The eBook version of this title features links to Lexis Advance for further legal research options.
