Antitrust Policy or Antitrust religion? (on E. Rockefeller's Book “Antitrust Religion”)
The article provides an analysis of the main provisions of the book of American lawyer Edwin Rockefeller “Antitrust Religion.” This book is a different look at the problem of antitrust regulation, in which the author shows the controversy and ambiguity of law enforcement in this area of regulation. Uncertainty of basic concepts and extreme subjectivity of conclusions in the preparation of court decisions make antitrist, in the author ‘s opinion, a real religion. US antitrust practices thus do little to help the consumer. The book gives many interesting examples from real court practice and refutes the idea of effectiveness and necessity of antitrust policy. This book can be very handy in studying the issues of industry markets and in designing antitrust legislation and regulation.
