Henry G. Manne is Dean Emeritus of the George Mason University School of Law and Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Ave Maria School of Law.

The First Amendment, the securities laws and hedge funds

I have been writing for some time about the First Amendment and the securities laws.  In a nutshell, the formerly inviolate notion that the securities laws are a First-Amendment-free zone has always been constitutionally questionable.  The questions multiply with the expansion of the securities laws.  The Supreme Court’s recent broad endorsement of the application of the ...

Property Rights, Snow, and Parking

This NY Times piece on informal parking property rights and enforcement mechanisms in Boston gives me opportunity to excerpt from Fred McChesney’s seminal analysis on the subject discussing the order of things in Chicago: The city’s job ends once the snow is plowed from the driving lanes, leaving car owners to their best devices in ...

The board had to give its approval ... R.I.P. Alfred Kahn (1917-2010)

Abercrombie goes to Ohio

Steve Davidoff has the story, and it’s an interesting exercise in corporate contracting complicated by jurisdictional choice. Abercrombie’s proposed reincorporation is essentially a takeover defense.  Unlike Delaware, Abercrombie’s current state of incorporation, Ohio   Has a business combination statute that’s triggered by a 10% acquisition rather than 15% as in Delaware. Has a control share acquisition ... Abercrombie goes to Ohio

Sheepaholics

According to today’s WSJ: “Once upon a time, Americans got dogs for their sheep. Now they get sheep for their dogs.” Seems that border collies really need to herd.  They’re so compulsive that “they sometimes search for livestock behind the television when sheep appear on screen.* * * Left unoccupied, they’ll dig up the garden, ...

Religion, capitalism and compassion

My most avid fans may have noticed I’ve been away from blogging for a few days.  In fact, I’ve been traveling for a lot of that time in Israel (among other things, giving a talk at Hebrew University in Jerusalem). Given my recent travels to the Holy Land I thought it might be appropriate for ... Religion, capitalism and compassion

Against Consumer Choice as an Antitrust Standard (Some Preliminary Thoughts)

The “consumer choice” approach to antitrust is increasingly discussed in a variety of settings, and endorsed by regulators and in scholarship, especially but not exclusively in the Section 5 context.  The fundamental idea is that the “conventional” efficiency approach embedded in the total and/or consumer welfare standards is too cramped and does not measure the ...
