A Utilitarian Case Against Antitrust

A Utilitarian Case Against Antitrust

Harvard's Jeff Miron is a traditionally trained, neoclassical economist with surprisingly strong libertarian views. Here is his utilitarian case against antitrust enforcement. (He is best known among libertarians for his opposition to drug prohibition.)

Miron was mentioned previously on this blog for offering an undergraduate economics course on libertarianism without a single reading from Rothbard, Hazlitt, Mises, Hayek, Jefferson, Spooner, Sumner, or Boetie.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
