The antitrust paradox

A Policy at War With Itself
Book • 1978
First published in 1978, 'The Antitrust Paradox: A Policy at War With Itself' is a influential book that has significantly impacted the interpretation and application of antitrust law.

Bork argues that antitrust suits often adversely affect consumers by encouraging costly protection for inefficient and uncompetitive small businesses.

The book is divided into three parts, covering theoretical foundations, applications to various antitrust issues such as mergers and vertical market restrictions, and a summation of how the law should be enforced.

Bork advocates for a consumer welfare model, emphasizing the importance of economic analysis in antitrust policy and enforcement.
