Priest, writing in the current Texas Review of Law & Politics, reminds us that the central goal of antitrust law is to benefit consumers.

Offhand, my naive understanding is that the central goal of antitrust law is to preserve competition. Benefit to consumers presumably coming from a competitive marketplace. Speaking naively again, the Chicago School seems to be a somewhat late entry in interpretation of antitrust law, but I guess like everything else, original intent only counts when it cuts the right way.

On preserving competition, of course, you have to deal with the contradictions of "Microsoft must be free to" compete / innovate / embrace and demolish or whatever, and the argument always presented by friends of Bill in every context but the legal one, it's impossible to compete against Microsoft. Beats me, what is the sound of one company competing?

Cheers, Dan.
