The stated purpose of antitrust laws is to protect competition and the public interest. But do such laws actually restrict the competitive process, harming consumers and serving the special interests of a few politically-connected competitors? Is antitrust law a necessary defense against the predatory business practices of wealthy, entrenched corporations that dominate a market? Or does antitrust law actually work to restrain and restrict the competitive process, injuring the public it is supposed to protect? This breakthrough study examines the classic cases in antitrust law and demonstrates a surprising gap between the stated aims of antitrust law and what it actually accomplishes in the real world. Instead of protecting competition, this book asserts, antitrust law actually protects certain politically-favored competitors. This is an essential work for anyone wishing to understand the limitations and problems of contemporary antitrust actions.

Yale Brozen was born on July 6, 1917 in Kansas City, Missouri, United States to the family of Oscar Brozen and Sarah Sholtz.
Yale Brozen studied at Kansas City Community College in the 1930s and was later awarded bachelor’s degrees from both the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago. Brozen completed a Ph.D. in economics at the University of Chicago in the early 1940s.
After teaching at the University of Florida, the Illinois Institute of Technology, and the University of Minnesota during the early and mid 1940s, Brozen joined the faculty of Northwestern University as a professor of economics in 1947. He remained there until moving to the University of Chicago in 1957, becoming director of the research management program at the Graduate School of Business in 1959. After 1960 Brozen was also the director of the applied economics program, a position he held until 1984. Brozen retired from teaching in 1987. He had gained national attention during the 1970s as an outspoken critic of government intervention in the marketplace, particularly targeting the Federal Trade Commission in its censure of the makers of Wonder Bread. Because the bread maker’s slogan “helps build strong bodies twelve ways” applied as much to other breads as to the Wonder brand, the Federal Trade Commission claimed that the company was guilty of false advertising. Brozen vehemently argued against the Federal Trade Commission position at the time and in general decried government interference in the commercial sector. He was a well-known commentator on antitrust cases and a fiscal conservative in matters relating to the federal government. The author of economic textbooks during the 1940s, Brozen also wrote Advertising and Society, The Competitive Economy: Selected Readings, Concentrations, Mergers, and Public Policy, and Mergers in Perspective.
Brozen died of heart disease on March 4, 1998 in San Diego, California.
