Description | Critical assessment of attempts to extend the scope of antitrust to areas which do not relate to the protection of competition as a result of market failure. Recommendation to vigorously resist them. Competition law has to actively face new challenges, particularly technological ones, that traditional approaches cannot deal with effectively. However, it must always be about protecting competition and consumer welfare, not about foisting a political agenda on the antitrust authorities under the guise of significant social change. |
