AlbakiReads Editorial

A consumer-centered argument about antitrust

First published in 1978 and reissued with a new introduction and foreword, Robert H. Bork’s work examines the effects of antitrust lawsuits on consumers and the role of government in private affairs. Its central argument is that such suits can protect inefficient small businesses at consumers’ expense. The book connects legal interpretation with broader questions about the purposes of law and the political and social aims it may be made to serve. The supplied description presents it as an influential intervention in debates over how antitrust law is understood and applied.

Book overview

Since it first appeared in 1978, this seminal work by one of the foremost American legal minds of our age has dramatically changed the way the courts view government's role in private affairs. Now reissued with a new introduction and foreword, this classic shows how antitrust suits adversely affect the consumer by encouraging a costly form of protection for inefficient and uncompetitive small businesses. Robert Bork's view of antitrust law has had a profound impact on how the law has been both interpreted and applied. Lucid, highly readable, and full of rich social and political implications, The Antitrust Paradox illustrates how the purpose and integrity of law can be subverted by those who do not understand the reality law addresses or who seek to make it serve unintended political and social ends.
