Lessons For Competition Law From The Economic Crisis: The Prospect For Antitrust Responses To The 'Too-Big-To-Fail' Phenomenon, Jesse Markham Dec 2009

Lessons For Competition Law From The Economic Crisis: The Prospect For Antitrust Responses To The 'Too-Big-To-Fail' Phenomenon, Jesse Markham

Jesse Markham

This article explores the failure of antitrust law to prevent or intercede to remedy the catastrophic failures of large enterprises.
