Description

Cases and Materials on Modern Antitrust Law and Its Origins 7th Edition Thomas D. Morgan ISBN 9781636595801

This text organizes antitrust cases across four historical periods to provide students with a clear understanding of how the law has evolved. The first period (1890–1914) foreshadows many issues still relevant today. The second period (1915–1939) introduces the “rule of reason,” compelling courts to examine the actual effects of business practices. The third period (1940–1975) emphasizes the per se rule and industry concentration as dominant frameworks for analysis. The fourth, modern period synthesizes insights from the second and third periods.

The Seventh Edition highlights major recent developments in antitrust law and policy, including initiatives led by the current FTC and Department of Justice Antitrust Division. Many modern cases are accompanied by questions prompting students to critically evaluate these proposed changes. This historical approach is especially valuable as current leaders advocate a return to pre-1974 Supreme Court principles, illustrated throughout the text with landmark cases. The edition also includes all important recent decisions, such as the Supreme Court’s rulings in Ohio v. American Express and NCAA v. Alston, as well as the D.C. Circuit’s opinion in U.S. v. AT&T.
