Antitrust (Examples & Explanations) 2nd Edition

Note: some of the citations in this thing are wrong. They're usually quite dingbat mistakes, where you can figure out what the correct citation is if you spend a few seconds thinking about it, but still, it's annoying. For instance, a citation reading GetYourShitStraight v. RookieMistakes, 123 F.2d 456, 789 P.3d 012, might have the first three digits of the two sources reversed. You plug in the citation and Westlaw or Lexis gives you the wrong case instead of GetYourShitStraight. You ask someone else to check and they come up with the same results. You begin to rethink your career choices and then you decide to swap the digits and, bam, the case comes up. Stupid stuff like that. It's happened a few times, but it's gotten to the point where know what mistakes the author makes and I can guess the correct cite. I should probably just get a new book.

My antitrust professor and casebook were pretty unclear, for me at least. I used this for creating my outline and to formulate my analysis for attacking antitrust problems on an exam. This E&E was really helpful in that regard—but there aren’t many actual examples and explanations, so if you’re looking for practice problems, this probably isn’t the supplement for you. That being said, antitrust law is all about working through an analysis (market definition, market power, procompetitve justifications, etc.) rather than reaching a concrete conclusion, so practice problems aren’t as important as they might be in other courses. This supplement frames the analysis in an easy to understand manner and discusses all the important cases.

I got this book as I felt that I would need something to complement the poorly written and structured coursebook that my professor assigned for the antitrust law exam. This book has been great for that purpose. It's well-structured and does a great job of explaining what the rules derived from different cases in antitrust law are. While this book is somewhat shorter than my coursebook, it still contains all the relevant cases.Although I used this book to help my prepare for my antitrust law exam, I think this also would be a good book to read if you for some other reason want to familiarize yourself with antitrust. The book is pleasant to read and even funny at times, and the chapters are not too long.

This book is a must for anyone interested in an extensive overview of antitrust. All topics (and there are many) are written in clear, clean, and engaging language. All are followed by examples, which I found invaluable. Extremely well organized and thoughtfully put together, this book is invaluable for students of antitrust, journalists who need to understand antitrust law, as well as professionals.Topics covered include predatory pricing, horizontal and vertical mergers, monopolies, monopsonies, oligopolies, and much more. I have referred to the glossary of terms more times than I can count. While educational and instructive, it was also a great read. Thank you Professor Sagers!!

After reading this, know less than when I started. Granted I fell down the stairs and my eyes don’t focus right anymore, and they no longer point in the right direction.Strongly recommended. You better order this or else!

Reading it to better my company

Professor Sagers does an excellent job laying out the principles of Antitrust Law.
