Antitrust: Principles, Cases and Materials

This is the first edition of a new antitrust casebook designed to offer an accessible, thorough, concise, and up-to-date introduction to the world of antitrust. The book is accompanied by a resource pack, including teaching slides and draft syllabuses, available to all on the same terms. You will find everything online at www.antitrustcasebook.org. We will update the materials each year. "This is a wonderful book by brilliant authors and a concept whose time has come. Students deserve free access." Eleanor Fox, Walter J Derenberg Professor of Trade Regulation Emerita, NYU School of Law. "A remarkable achievement and a breath of fresh air. Up-to-the-minute coverage of a fast-changing landscape and a stimulating and innovative blending of cases and scholarship." Stephen Calkins, Professor of Law, Wayne State University School of Law. In writing this book, we’ve been motivated by our hope that this casebook can play a role in making the antitrust classroom, and ultimately the antitrust profession, a more diverse, inclusive, and welcoming space. Everyone belongs in the antitrust conversation! Antitrust implicates countless fundamental questions about the rules that govern the economy, and about the place of the market in our shared life. It concerns each of us directly as consumers, workers, and citizens. And it is an endlessly rewarding field of study, work, and debate. We have aimed for an accessible and straightforward text, while acknowledging antitrust’s many complexities and tensions. We have made a particular effort to capture recent materials: as a result, some older cases that are now primarily a matter of historical interest have received a briefer treatment or been omitted entirely. This has enabled us to maintain full coverage without undue length.
