About Antitrust Law: Economic Theory And Common Law

Product Description This book consolidates several different perspectives on antitrust law. First, Keith Hylton presents a detailed description of the law as it has developed through numerous judicial opinions. Second, he presents detailed economic critiques of the judicial opinions, drawing heavily from law and economics journals. Third, he integrates a jurisprudential perspective that views antitrust as a vibrant field of common law. This last perspective leads him to address issues of certainty, stability, and predictability in antitrust law, and to examine the pressures shaping its evolution. Review "This book is the single best one-volume discussion of modern antitrust law available. It is encyclopedic in coverage, but deeper than a treatise because it is informed at every step with the best and most systematic of current economic and legal analysis. If you want to learn (or to learn more) about modern antitrust law, read this book." George Priest, Yale Law School "An excellent treatment of antitrust law. It should appeal to audiences in economics as well as law. The economic analysis will enable lawyers to analyze antitrust issues more completely and more persuasively. Keith Hylton is a well-known and respected scholar in this field." Joel P. Trachtman, Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University "Hylton's text provides an excellent account of antitrust and common law evolution. He extracts the essence of the landmark antitrust decisions to demonstrate their legal evolution in a very efficient way. His use of economics is not only appropriate to the subject matter; it is also appropriate for student readership in law and economics. The writing is clear and concise." Roger D. Blair, University of Florida Book Description This book is an effort to consolidate several different perspectives on antitrust law. About the Author Keith N.
