Institute of Competition Law Albert A. Foer Liber Amicorum: A Consumer Voice in the Antitrust Arena

Product Description At a time of reckoning for the future of antitrust, this Liber Amicorum brings together a diverse collection of today's leading thinkers to pay tribute to Albert Allen (Bert) Foer, founder of the American Antitrust Institute (AAI). In doing so, it illustrates the intellectual landscape of the antitrust debate, with articles that go to the heart of its goals, and others that light a path forward towards reform. Others yet delve into the pressing issues of enforcement and remedies. The variety of voices included characterize the breadth of perspectives that Bert cultivated at the AAI, from lawyers and academics to enforcers and journalists. In providing a platform for multidisciplinary discourse through the AAI, Bert helped create the foundation on which today's movement rests, a public citizen's voice spotlighting competition as the basis of diversity and dynamism.
