PositiveThe New Republic... a serious and important contribution that will help build momentum for reform ... primarily a policy book, and Klobuchar spends much of it offering 25 recommendations to increase competition. These range from the very broad to the extremely specific to the practical. Throughout, she references her own proposed legislation on the topic. And as Klobuchar is chair of the Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on competition policy, antitrust, and consumer rights, her proposals are likely to be one of the starting points for reform.

PositiveThe New RepublicIn this concise and accessible history, Wu, a professor at Columbia Law School, takes us from the great merger movement of the late nineteenth century to the antitrust legislation and prosecutions in the Progressive Era to \'peak antitrust\' in the mid-twentieth century. He judiciously describes how the \'Chicago School\' of antitrust, with its narrow focus on consumer welfare, came to dominate antitrust law and ushered in our new era of monopoly capitalism ... he briskly narrates the origins and evolution of antitrust law in America ... Wu weaves his considerable knowledge of the technology and communications industries seamlessly into the arc of antitrust history—and to good effect.
