 | | Antitrust Law: Affirmative Action for Uncompetitive Businesses by Mark Schmidt, National Taxpayers Union Foundation, Policy Paper 132, 11 Dec 2000. | | | Free market economist Milton Friedman states that he initially agreed with the underlying principles of antitrust laws (breaking up monopolies and oligopolies and promoting more competition), but came to the conclusion that they do more harm than good and that therefore they should not exist. | | | Furthermore, as the market power of large cartels is reduced, they are forced to pay more attention to the needs and wishes of individual customers. |

| | Antitrust, by Fred S. McChesney: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty |
| | Antitrust also increases transaction costs because firms must hire lawyers and often litigate to avoid antitrust liability. | | | The recent era of antitrust reassessment has resulted in general agreement among economists that the most successful instances of cartelization and monopoly pricing have involved companies that enjoy the protection of government regulation of prices and government control of entry by new competitors. | | | Similar conclusions arise from studies of merger cases and of various antitrust remedies obtained by government; in both instances results are inconsistent with antitrust's supposed goal of consumer well-being. |

| | Brown v. Pro Football, Inc.., 518 U.S. 231 (1996) |
| | All this is to say that to permit antitrust liability here threatens to introduce instability and uncertainty into the collective bargaining process, for antitrust law often forbids or discourages the kinds of joint discussions and behavior that the collective bargaining process invites or requires. | | | Our holding is not intended to insulate from antitrust review every joint imposition of terms by employers, for an agreement among employers could be sufficiently distant in time and in circumstances from the collective bargaining process that a rule permitting antitrust intervention would not significantly interfere with that process. | | | Nor would adherence to the terms of an expired collective bargaining agreement eliminate a potentially plausible antitrust claim charging that they had "conspired" or tacitly "agreed" to do so, particularly if maintaining the status quo were not in the immediate economic self interest of some. |

| | ANTITRUST LAWS SHOULD BE ABOLISHED |
| | These antitrust benefits accruing to some (i.e., by limiting competition from their rivals) involve costs that are usually not apparent since they are spread over so many other firms and individuals. | | | The traditional antitrust model teaches that competitive markets tend toward an equilibrium where price, marginal cost, and minimum average cost are all equal and where consumer welfare is maximized. | | | Antitrust laws thus discourage abler firms from operating to the best of their abilities. |

| | The first step in any antitrust analysis is defining the relevant market in which the merging firms operate. | | | Therefore, while the HHI may provide an objective and somewhat useful standard, the antitrust investigator should not overemphasize the importance of the formula in deciding whether to proceed with a full antitrust analysis of multimedia mergers and acqu isitions. | | | Once a court or enforcement agency has defined the relevant market, the second step of the antitrust merger analysis for the multimedia industry is to estimate the degree of power that the unified firm would possess in that market. |

| | Thus, inefficiency of smaller competitors is actually being rewarded when antitrust laws are enacted, while successful big businesses must endure restrictions on their productivity, competitiveness and efficiency. | | | The Act's primary goal was to limit the expansion of monopolies, the restriction of free trade (competition) and the imposition of price fixing by industry members or any combination of business practices that led to the restriction of trade. | | | In the spirit of free trade and competition, efforts have been made since the late 19th century to put an end to 'big business', or monopolies, that dominate the local and foreign market share, control prices and/or prevent competition. |

Circuit remanded the case for consideration of a proper remedy for "drastically altered scope of liability" that the court had upheld, under Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly. |
