PROTECTING THE CONSUMER WELFARE STANDARD
For almost a half-century, courts have applied antitrust law consistently under one fair and neutral standard: Does a given action harm the consumer? If the answer is “no,” then there is no antitrust case. If the answer is “yes,” then regulators and courts should act.
Under the Consumer Welfare Standard, the American economy tripled in size and created amazing innovations that have transformed and improved how we live, work and socialize. This standard works for the best interests of the American consumer and deserves to be defended and extended.
The Antitrust Education Project is a response by legal scholars, thinkers and practitioners to the recent deterioration in American antitrust theory and application.
