Abstract
In recent years, a number of antitrust scholars, including the author, have sought to catalyze a new dialogue and debate, as to whether antitrust analyses and decisions should recognize and pay homage to moral norms of fairness and ethics. This article attempts to further spur this debate by reconsidering the issue of morality and antitrust from an interdisciplinary perspective that includes scholarship and learning from such diverse fields as evolutionary biology and economics, philosophy and history, and behavioral and socioeconomics.
