Markets, Morals, or Wealth? Delusions of a Standardized Antitrust Value

Abstract

Since the 1980s, courts have chosen corporate wealth generation as antitrust's sole value, justifying their choice under``Chicago School'' economics, while abandoning counter-values like justice and democracy. The difficult consequences of``Chicago's'' univocal corporate wealth generating ``value'' are explored in this article, while a broader, multi-valued, antitrust alternative is discussed and proposed.
