Antitrust and the Supreme Court


Book Description

For more than one hundred years, the Sherman Act and its amendments have defined the legal framework supporting the American economy, but this framework has not remained unchanged. Antitrust laws have been revised and re-interpreted, resulting in changes in enforcement. Ramsey examines the Supreme CourtOCOs institutional role in balancing the contentions of the political branches, the business community, the enforcement agencies, and the advocates of various schools of economic thought, incorporating the arguments of each into a coherent, flexible and reasonably stable body of law regulating competition. Ramsey argues that the institutional strengths of the Court will continue to play a critical role in the ongoing development of antitrust law well into the Sherman ActOCOs second century."

Book Description

Excerpt from The Anti-Trust Act and the Supreme Court The prospect of legislation at this session of Congress amendatory of the Sherman law has again brought before the public the whole question of anti-trust legislation. A great deal of misunderstanding concerning the effectiveness of that law has been displayed in such discussion as has already arisen. The decisions of the Supreme Court interpreting the statute have not been clearly understood by many of those who have taken part in that discussion.
