Robert H. Lande (University of Baltimore - School of Law) has posted Robert Bork's Controversial Legacy (FTC Watch, Issue 820, December 2012) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
-
Judge Robert Bork was undeniably one of the towering figures in antitrust history. He advanced the field positively in many respects, articulating a serious critique of excesses of an earlier social-political approach to antitrust. But as one of the conservative movement’s intellectual godfathers he also shares responsibility for many of their own excesses that have transformed our nation in harmful ways. This short essay explores some of the effects of his overall approach to antitrust: his preoccupation with economic efficiency.
