Recenzje

OUP now sells most of the best large books published on competition law and policy ... One very helpful feature of the first edition is that it has attracted postgraduate students to read the book, which contains a substantial introduction to the relevant economic theory ... Long may the original contributors have the energy to edit such a perceptive and substaintial work.
