What Antitrust Is All About



By ROBERT H. BORK

ASHINGTON R arely does a prospective antitrust case roil public passion. But since it
became known that I represent a company urging the Justice Department to challenge certain
of Microsoft's business practices, my mail has certainly livened up. One letter writer
complained that I had sold my "sole." His spelling aside, that writer was at least kinder than the one
who labeled me senile.

There seems to be a widespread impression that the Microsoft controversy should be resolved by an
ideological litmus test: liberals are bent on punishing success, and conservatives must defend Bill
Gates's company from any application of the antitrust laws. But the question is not one of politics or
ideology; it is one of law and economics. And that is why an outspoken free marketeer like me can be
found arguing against Microsoft.
