Abstract:
Assume a planet
with an antitrust-like law whose goal is to promote business change, dynamism,
and transformation. What would this antitrust system look like? This paper answers
that question by tapping into evolutionary theories. It develops a model of
antitrust law whose tenets are entirely different from the paradigm practiced
on Earth. It provides the groundwork for developing a new method of analysis,
normative foundation, and mode of antitrust intervention.
When: Mon, Feb 6, 12 - 1 pm
