How Antitrust Failed Workers
Book • 2021
In 'How Antitrust Failed Workers,' Eric Posner examines the shortcomings of antitrust law in protecting workers' rights and promoting fair labor markets.
The book argues that traditional antitrust enforcement has primarily focused on consumer welfare, neglecting the impact of market concentration on wages and employment conditions.
Posner analyzes how employers' market power can suppress wages, limit job mobility, and stifle innovation in labor practices.
He proposes reforms to antitrust law that would prioritize the interests of workers, such as stricter scrutiny of mergers that reduce labor market competition and stronger enforcement against anti-competitive practices that harm workers.
The book offers insights into the need for a more balanced approach to antitrust enforcement that considers the welfare of both consumers and workers.
