Course Description:
From Big Tech to Big Pharma, antitrust enforcers are currently taking aim at some of the world's largest companies. Antitrust agencies' novel monopolization theories, revised merger guidelines, and aggressive enforcement reflect an increasingly popular "anti-bigness" attitude. While the contemporary fervor is new, the debates it has unearthed are not. Scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers have been debating the objectives, standards, and economic implications of the Sherman Act since its enactment in 1890. In this seminar, you will explore those debates, from both contemporary and historical perspectives, and examine their impact on the current antitrust landscape.
