Summary
This chapter provides an overview of the antitrust laws. We begin with some historical background and move on to explore the economic rationale for having a public policy that protects and promotes competition. The pertinent sections of the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act are presented, and their coverage is explained briefly. The importance of both public and private enforcement efforts is discussed.
