4.2 out of 5 stars 34 ratings

Shows how antitrust suits adversely affect the consumer by encouraging a costly form of protection for inefficient and uncompetitive small businesses. Bork sees antitrust law as a microcosm which reflects the larger movements of our society, such as the tension between liberty and equality.

    One of the most important books on antitrust law in the Twentieth Century. A catalyst for a major revolution in antitrust thinking and approach that was truly fundamental. Consumer welfare then began to to be the leading principle, trumping the former "big is bad", simplistic analysis that had plagued antitrust law too often.

    This book is an eye opener on Antitrust and the gov't abuse of it and the court's misunderstanding of economics and the intent of the law.

    Bork sets, in an amazing and clear way, the complicationts antitrust policy deal with. And despite the book was written decades ago, the issues Bork states are still unsolved. Definitely, a classical anti trust book.

    I was really excited for this book but the print font is so small i'm going to have to now see if it's on kindle. The print is footnote font size.

    Good price and excellent product. Matched advertisement. Why do I need any more words? Why is this not all OK?

    Judge Robert Bork is perhaps best remembered for what he did not get a chance to accomplish. He should instead be remembered for the quality of the economic analysis, policy sense and legal acumen reflected in The Antitrust Paradox. At a time when government regulators, enforcement agencies and private litigants are mobilizing antitrust hearings and cases reflecting an intention somehow to rein in the growth of American technology companies, a re-reading of The Antitrust Paradox effectively informs us of why the antitrust laws work most effectively for public welfare and a dynamic economy when, as they were intended, they focus on protecting competition for the benefit of consumers rather than on protecting competitors from more efficient and better focused rivals. Members of the general public, legislators, lawyers and, especially judges, would do well to consult this still-timely work.

    This book fundamentally changed the direction of antitrust law by returning the focus to the only question that matters: How are consumers affected? Will enforcement bring them greater variety at lower prices? Or is it just a weapon companies can use to hobble more efficient competitors? Should be required reading for each generation of politicians.

    A classic (in terms of influence) of course - and it must be read to appreciate the shallowness of its argument.
