<< Then I guess you want Microsoft to win this case. Because if it loses, what you are going to get is some dweeb of an economist telling you how to run the software industry. >> I don't know where you get that. That's pretty far out.

We should probably use them in warfare. << the same neoclassical economics the DOJ's experts rely on when they try to explain the behavior of monopolists >> Really, they are relying on years of legal tradition and common sense, if they are like most people. MSFT would like them to bring economists into the debate. << So, if Carl Menger's theories ,,, >> Yeah, well, nobody really cares. Sorry Carl.
