The focus of this text is to teach and illustrate the fundamentals of microeconomics as it relates to the administration and enforcement of antitrust laws both domestically and internationally. The chapters instruct as to the fundamentaleconomic constructs relevant to the analysis of antitrust injury, as well as address both legal and economic issues with respect to the measurement of antitrust damages. Each chapter provides the student, practitioner, consultant and/or judicial officer critical insight with respect to the analysis and measurement of competitive injury and any resulting business damages. This book is designed to serve as 1) a companion text in any antitrust law class; 2) a supplemental text in any managerial economics class; and 3) a resource to practitioners and consultants in the field of antitrust and industrial organization.The study of antitrust law is an interdisciplinary endeavor. While the traditional case method approach provides a solid introductory foundation, such an approach, absent any applied economic theory, will likely result in a stale, task-oriented classroom and/or jurisprudential environment, primarily devoted to categorizing an evolving common law history. Given the arbitrarily imposed time constraints imposed by an institutional semester or an administrative judge, one cannot expect to teach or learn all the intricacies of microeconomics, but since an understanding of microeconomics fundamentals will result from an understanding of the underlying assumptions of the model of perfect competition, one can expect to achieve a certain level of competence in their application.Each of the contributing authors is recognized for his or her scholarship and expertise in the antitrust regulatory field. The totality of their varied backgrounds and experiences not only illustrates the robust nature of the book's contents, but also illustrates the profound interdisciplinary nature of regulating competition in the markets of the world.

They fail to understand the clinical picture of ADD and how it impacts the organizing process often making their advice irrelevant or frustrating when put into application.

Finally, it offers organizing advice that ranges from self-help to utilizing the help of non-professionals, to using professional assistance.

Prominent attorneys debate web censorship and school vouchers in a compelling new book-and-CD series inspired by the popular National Public Radio program Justice Talking. The New Press is proud to announce a major new collaboration with the National Public Radio series Justice Talking, an acclaimed radio program that features leading attorneys debating controversial contemporary issues. In book-and-CD sets that include the complete audio recordings and transcripts of the Justice Talking shows, overviews of the legal and other arguments relating to each issue, and a variety of primary source materials, the Justice Talking series of publications are unparalleled introductions to the leading debates of our time. One of President George W. Bush's priorities has been the expansion of the controversial school voucher program, which ostensibly gives children who attend failing public schools the ability to obtain a better, private education elsewhere. Denounced by its opponents as a thinly disguised attempt to fund parochial schools, the voucher program has become a flash point for anger over public education in general and for how students are being educationally shortchanged. In a fascinating overview of this roiling controversy, Barry Lynn of America's United for Separation of Church and State and Clint Bolick of the Institute for Justice debate the merits of school vouchers in the audio component of this innovative book-and-CD set. Originally aired on National Public Radio as part of the Justice Talking series, the recorded debate is presented here in its entirety. An accompanying book includes a complete transcription along with a summary of the pro and con arguments, both legal and educational, and a range of relevant primary source materials. An incomparable guide to a cutting-edge debate, Justice Talking: School Vouchers offers a roadmap for parents, teachers, community leaders, and others to a complicated yet crucial issue.
