Cases and Materials on Modern Antitrust Law and Its Origins (7th Edition) – PDF

“Cases and Materials on Modern Antitrust Law and Its Origins, 7th edition” is structured chronologically, examining antitrust law through four distinct eras. The book covers: the initial period from 1890 to 1914, which laid the groundwork for many contemporary antitrust issues; the subsequent era from 1915 to 1939, where the ‘rule of reason’ pushed courts to delve into the real-world effects of business conduct; then the years between 1940 and 1975, characterized by the per se rule and a focus on industry concentration as key analytical frameworks; and finally, the modern era spanning over 40 years, which represents a blend of the analytical approaches from the second and third periods. This updated Seventh Edition explores the significant shifts in antitrust law and policy being pursued by current leaders at the FTC and the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division. To encourage critical thinking, the book poses questions following many contemporary cases, prompting students to assess these proposed changes. The book’s historical perspective is especially beneficial for students because current leadership in antitrust enforcement is advocating for a return to legal interpretations favored by the Supreme Court prior to 1974. This book features all the pivotal cases that exemplify this historical approach. The latest edition incorporates key recent judicial decisions, including the Supreme Court’s rulings in Ohio v. American Express and NCAA v. Alston, as well as the D.C. Circuit’s ruling in U.S. v. AT&T.
