Predatory Pricing Antitrust Laws
1,263 words
The case against Microsoft is based not just on
bad economics, but on a fundamental
misunderstanding of government's decision-making
role when it comes to market operations. This
misunderstanding has led to an attack on one of
the USs most successful firms. It is difficult to
measure consumer "harms", much less harms that may
only occur in the future. A common misconception
about antitrust law is that its purpose is to
ensure fair competition. That's not true;
antitrust law's purpose is to prote...

A monopoly, by definition, is an organization
which engages in unfair and often unethical
business practices to dominate an industry and
eliminate all competition which might inhibit
their profits. In the latter stages of the 19 th

Antitrust Act, which made it illegal to own a
monopoly in the United States. Since the early

into a world where the culture industry churned
out products that, as Adorno would later observe,
looked more like advertisements for books than
actual books (Adorno, 1992, p. 20), the strange
volume that Horkheimer and Adorno passed on to
their colleagues was one of those books that could
no longer be one. Its title confessed what its
unusual form of dissemination implied: here was a

that Microsoft has used monopolistic practices and
market power to foster a non-competitive climate.
According to Webster, a monopoly is the exclusive
control of a commodity or service in a given
market. Microsoft has achieved their status of
being the largest Software Company in America by
creating a monopoly and using unfair business
tactics. It may seem impossible for there to be
only one supplier of any product in the software
industry, since ...
