Don Boudreaux on Market Failure, Government Failure and the Economics of Antitrust Regulation
Economist Don Boudreaux challenges conventional wisdom on market and government failures, arguing that perceived market inefficiencies often stem from a lack of proper institutional frameworks rather than an inherent need for governmental intervention. Delving into the impact and origins of antitrust regulation, he posits that these laws prioritize protecting competitors over consumers, questioning the true efficacy of regulatory attempts to manage market giants' rise and fall.
