Publius: Robert Bork’s Influence on Antitrust

Feb 24

CLIENT: Publius

The first antitrust law was the Sherman Act, passed in 1890. It was designed to protect consumers from predatory corporate practices. By the mid 1970s, however, antitrust laws were being used almost exclusively to protect small businesses and punish large corporations with a competitive advantage. Robert Bork called for a total reevaluation of antitrust doctrine, based on economic principles and verifiable facts. Thanks to the work of Bork, legislators and judges began to analyze the impact of antitrust regulations in light of the best outcome for the consumer.
