Efficiencies And Antitrust Reconsidered: An Evolutionary Perspective, Thomas J. Horton
Efficiencies And Antitrust Reconsidered: An Evolutionary Perspective, Thomas J. Horton
Thomas J. Horton
The author reconsiders the issue of efficiencies and antitrust from the perspectives of evolutionary biology and the growing field of evolutionary economics. He begins by discussing how the term efficiency as currently used in antitrust today is more of a term of social science and economic ideology than a meaningful scientific concept. He then moves on to address how the lessons of evolutionary biology and economics, including the need for systemic diversity and unremitting competition at all systemic levels, can be applied to structural antitrust and efficiencies analyses. The author concludes that it is time to bring fresh perspectives to …

Confucianism And Antitrust: China's Emerging Evolutionary Approach To Anti-Monopoly Law, Thomas J. Horton
Confucianism And Antitrust: China's Emerging Evolutionary Approach To Anti-Monopoly Law, Thomas J. Horton
Thomas J. Horton
In August, 2007, the People’s Republic of China, through its National People’s Congress, enacted its Anti-Monopoly Law, which took effect in August, 2008. This article discusses the historical, cultural, and philosophical values that have helped to shape and influence China’s current AML. Rather than following the United States and Europe, China appears to be charting its own course in interpreting and enforcing its competition laws. Based upon China’s history, culture, and Confucian ethics and morals, this article forecasts that China’s future AML enforcement will be based upon social, moral, and ethical considerations, as well as economic ones. This article concludes …

Fairness And Antitrust Reconsidered: An Evolutionary Perspective, Thomas J. Horton
Fairness And Antitrust Reconsidered: An Evolutionary Perspective, Thomas J. Horton
Thomas J. Horton
For many American jurists and scholars, the notion that antitrust should incorporate moral norms of fairness is anathema. They believe that supposedly "non-economic goals" such as fairness have no place in America's single-minded focus on economics, consumer welfare, and allocative efficiency. This article reconsiders this position from an evolutionary perspective. After discussing the arguments for and against applying evolutionary norms of fairness in antitrust cases, the article recommends that courts and antitrust regulators begin applying an evolutionary analysis instead of the static economic consumer and total welfare norms in vogue today. The new focus would be on fairness norms, intent, …

Unraveling The Chicago/Harvard Antitrust Double Helix: Applying Evolutionary Theory To Guard Competitors And Revive Antitrust Jury Trials, Thomas J. Horton
Unraveling The Chicago/Harvard Antitrust Double Helix: Applying Evolutionary Theory To Guard Competitors And Revive Antitrust Jury Trials, Thomas J. Horton
Thomas J. Horton
This paper addresses the Supreme Court's current favorable view of monopolies and strong antipathy toward antitrust jury trials. The current Chicago/Harvard philosophical antitrust double helix is built around the ideas that monopolies are generally efficient and procompetitive while juries are unable to grasp complex antitrust economics. Building upon evolutionary analyses in previous papers, this article recommends a new philosophical antitrust double helix that will generate increased enforcement of and compliance with the language and spirit of sections 2 of the Sherman Act and 7 of the Clayton Act. The article recommends that we reform the misappropriated and misapplied "protect competition, …
