Description
The book offers a renewed approach to the debate on antitrust goals. Based on a legal-sociological perspective, it conceives competition as a form with social functions. Thus, competition is not a mere derivation of efficiency or consumer welfare, but an autonomous goal of antitrust which pervades cartel, unilateral conduct and merger cases. According to Tobias Werron, this is a "great piece of scholarship (...) that suggests an openness of mind and independence of thought". Celso Campilongo writes: "the publication of this work ought to be celebrated. It is far from trivial or usual to reconstruct (...) a sociology of antitrust law".
