Abstract

Antitrust law is not the solution to soaring unemployment but it would be a mistake to assume that antitrust has no role to play in fostering jobs. If antitrust law is properly applied -- consistent with its traditional objectives of stimulating competition, expanding output and fighting foreclosure of rivals -- it can serve to create and sustain productive jobs.

Keywords: antitrust, competition, jobs
