<i>[T]his book, with its economics-based approach and international orientation, will certainly interest academic lawyers, graduate students and indeed policy makers whose decisions may affect the economic welfare of whole regions. With detailed footnotes and index, the compilation is also especially useful as a gateway to further research.'</i><br /> --Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, <i>The Barrister Magazine</i>
The book brings together contributions on the relevance of different welfare standards, on the concept of 'freedom to compete' and on distributional fairness as a goal of competition law. Moreover, it discusses the relationship to other legal goals such as market integration. Finally, the specific issue of competition law goals in emerging economies is addressed.
The Goals of Competition Law will have strong appeal to academics in competition law and competition economics; policy makers, enforcers and other practitioners in the field of competition law; and postgraduate students in competition law and competition economics.
