Recenzje

Recent decades have seen a big shift in the balance of power in the job market away from workers and toward big employers, and it has contributed to the rise in inequality. Posner explains how antitrust policy might have helped prevent it and reduce inequality. Antitrust fights anticompetitive practices that harm consumers and it could fight anticompetitive practices in the job market that harm workers the same way. The book melds the new economic thinking on the topic with Posner's keen legal insight in an accessible way.
