Reviews for Antitrust Economics on Trial: A Dialogue on the New Laissez-Faire
"Critically examines, in an innovative and lighthearted fashion, the economic justification of the Chicago style approach to antitrust... The book is extremely well documented... Its fast pace and wit make for quite enjoyable reading."
