Antitrust Canons
Matt Bodie’s “Canons” project continues over at Prawfs, and antitrust is up to bat. I took a stab at a reading list which I believe meet’s Matt’s criteria: articles that are essential to doing antitrust scholarship. My long, but embarrassingly underinclusive list, is below the fold. In particular, I have left out a good deal ...
