Excerpt: ... A FAVORABLE JUNCTURE. 57 red, was preparing to join the colony; and it introd. was estimated by Jean de Léry, that ten thou- 1562. sand French Protestants would soon have crossed the ocean to Brazil.1 The baseness of one man had ruined the scheme which promised so much for France and for America. But there were others in the Protestant ranks, tried and trusted leaders, who stood ready fora second venture, upon Coligny's bidding; and the harbors of Bretagne and Normandy swarmed with men as ready to follow. The times also, if not brighter, were more opportune. The Huguenots, as they now began to be called, had become a recognized power in the land; with two princes of the blood--Antoine, king of Navarre, and his brother, Louis, prince of Condé--at their head. There was a lull in the storm of persecution. Nearly thirty-seven years had passed since Jean Leclerc, the first conpicuous martyr of the Reformation in France, 1 " Car quoy qu' aucuns disent, veu le peu de temps que ces choses ont duré,&que n'y estoit à present non plus de nouvelle de vraye Religion que de nom de François pour y habiter, qu'on n'en doit faire estime: nonobstant telles allegations, ce que j'ay dit ne laisse pas de demeurer tousiours tellement vray, que tout ainsi que l'Evangile du fils de Dieu a esté de nos jours annoncé en ceste quarte partie du monde dite Amerique, aussi est-il très certain si l' affaire eust esté aussi bien poursuivi qu'il avoit esté heureusement commencé, que l' un&l' autre Regne spirituel&temporel, y avoyent si bien prins pied de nostre temps, que plus de dix mille personnes de la nation Francoise y seroient maintenant en aussi plein&seure possession pour nostre Roy, que les Espagnols y sont au nom de leurs."...

This casebook provides an overview of trade regulation, including an integrated discussion of the major antitrust guidelines from the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission during the 1990s and significant antitrust process issues. The book's comparative law materials reflect expanded antitrust systems of other nations, and a series of economic essays and notes offer views on antitrust policy development. The casebook offers hypothetical problems throughout as a teaching aid. Highlights of the new edition include full integration of Supreme Court cases into appropriate sections of the casebook; important Court of Appeals and District Court opinions; important merger cases; increased attention on cases and scholarship relating to the intersection between antitrust and intellectual property; additional Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines; and an expanded section on extraterritorial reach and comity.

Departing from the traditional emphasis on institutions, this text emphasizes the use of economic theory and empirical analysis to understand regulatory and antitrust policies. Questions addressed include: What are the market failure rationales for, and appropriate form of, government intervention? What does theory show about competition in the presence of a market failure and the implications of government intervention to correct that failure? What do empirical analyses indicate about our regulatory experience and the direction of future intervention? The third edition addresses many issues that have recently dominated the economic and political landscape. New material reviews the government's case against Microsoft, charges of anticompetitive pricing in NASDAQ and airlines, the blocked Staples-Office Depot merger, and the Telecommunications Act of 1996. This edition also covers the deregulation of the California electric power industry as well as recent deregulatory efforts in bank branching and natural gas transmission. On the social regulatory scene, it covers in detail recent cigarette litigation and the contentious issue of the contingent valuation of natural resource damages, as exemplified in the Exxon Valdez oil spill. New empirical evidence appears throughout the book. Each part of the text can be used separately for a variety of courses including regulation and antitrust in undergraduate institutions, business schools, and schools of public policy, as well as background for doctoral courses. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter.

The Second Edition builds on the strengths of the first with complete updating of all cases, text, Notes, and Sidebars, taking into account the latest developments and commentary. It includes expanded economic coverage, a thoroughly revised chapter on dominant firm conduct, a thoroughly revised chapter on distribution restraints that comprehensively addresses the Supreme Court's Leegin decision, revised and expanded treatment of the analysis of competitor collaborations and joint ventures, updating of the state-of-the art conspiracy and merger chapters, and increased attention to international and comparative developments. Some older cases have been reduced to notes in favor of newer cases that better reflect current trends in antitrust analysis. Problems and skills exercises have also been refreshed and augmented.

he Antitrust Revolution: Economics, Competition, and Policy, Fifth Edition, examines the critical role of economic analysis in recent antitrust case decisions and policy. The book consists of economic studies of twenty-one of the most significant antitrust cases of recent years, twelve of them new to this edition and nine updated from the fourth edition. These cases include alleged anticompetitive practices by Visa and MasterCard, Microsoft, and Kodak; mergers--proposed or consummated--by Staples and Office Depot, PSEG and Exelon, EchoStar and DirecTV, and Heinz and Beech-Nut; and other competitive issues such as predatory pricing in the airline industry, "reverse-payments" in settlements of patent litigation, the use of bundled rebates by dominant firms, exclusive dealing, and retailer-instigated restraints on supplier sales. New overview essays precede the four sections of the book: Horizontal Structure; Horizontal Practices; Vertical and Related Market Issues; and Network Issues. Commissioned and edited by John E. Kwoka, Jr., and Lawrence J. White, the case studies are written by prominent economists who participated in the proceedings. These economists were responsible for helping to formulate the economic issues, undertake the necessary research, and offer arguments in court. As a result, they are uniquely qualified to describe and analyze the cases. Fully updated with the most current examples, this volume provides detailed and comprehensive insight into the central role that is now played and will continue to be played by economists in the antitrust process. The Antitrust Revolution, Fifth Edition, is ideal for undergraduate and graduate classes in industrial organization, government policy, and antitrust/regulation law and economics. It is also a useful reference book for lawyers and economists-both academics and practitioners-who are interested in the types of economic analyses that have been applied in recent antitrust cases. A companion website featuring cases from the previous four editions is available at www.oup.com/us/antitrustrevolution.
