An interesting pastime, if albeit, a tad bit nerdy for me has always been what I like to call “Competition Surfing”. Essentially, it involves randomly browsing through the internet for anything interesting related to competition law. Its fun to share a few such discoveries, just to spread the word about them.
An old but interesting video which was found during one of these surfing sessions was this one below. As part of our 25th Anniversary celebration the Federalist Society presented a full-day Conference on June 26, 2007, honouring Judge Robert H. Bork and his contributions to the law. The hon’ble Judge has always been of the view that “antitrust enforcement had overzealously applied the law in a manner that led to the protection of inefficient firms and the sanctioning of efficient firms, to the ultimate detriment of consumers. This form of interference in the free market, he argued, raised consumer prices by supporting flagging companies in order to maintain the perception of competition.” The panel discusses his views and their effect on anti-trust law and enforcement over time.
It is a bit long, but worth the watch.
