Changing technologies, changing marketplaces, and even changing trends in anti-competitive practices have all presented challenges to antitrust enforcement. ~ Al Franken
Antitrust quotes by Al Franken
Antitrust laws ought to be deployed, not against business, but to bust this two-party monopoly, which subverts competition in government and rewards the colluding quislings with sinecures in perpetuity. ~ Ilana Mercer
Antitrust quotes by Ilana Mercer
From search and books to online TV and operating systems, antitrust affects our daily digital lives in more ways than we think. ~ Marvin Ammori
Antitrust quotes by Marvin Ammori
The 10 largest antitrust law firms in the United States have gone into the federal courts charging Monsanto with creating a global conspiracy in violation of the antitrust laws, to control the global market in seeds. ~ Jeremy Rifkin
Antitrust quotes by Jeremy Rifkin
The antitrust litigation currently in the federal courts in the U.S. against Monsanto will be the test case in the life sciences, just as the Microsoft case was the test case in the information sciences. ~ Jeremy Rifkin
Antitrust quotes by Jeremy Rifkin
And what these winners wanted was for the world to be changed in ways that had their buy-in - think charter schools over more equal public school funding, or poverty-reducing tech companies over antitrust regulation of tech companies. The entrepreneurs were willing to participate in making the world better if you pursued that goal in a way that exonerated and celebrated and depended on them. ~ Anand Giridharadas
Antitrust quotes by Anand Giridharadas
Most Americans don't think about antitrust law when they look at their cable bill, flip channels on TV, or worry about what their favorite website knows about them. But they should. ~ Al Franken
Antitrust quotes by Al Franken
Google, you fucking ripped off the iPhone, wholesale ripped us off. Grand theft. I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this. They are scared to death, because they know they are guilty. Outside of Search, Google's products - Android, Google Docs - are shit. [Steve Jobs] ~ Walter Isaacson
Antitrust quotes by Walter Isaacson
Harl is a tenacious advocate for antitrust action against agribusiness, but he's not optimistic that without pressure from consumers, the government will go after these huge monopolies that control our food. "There's a huge amount of money and a lot of pressure applied whenever someone in Washington tries to do something about this," he told me. "That pressure is applied in the form of messages like 'Look, if you let this go on, we're going to diminish our support for your campaign.' When things get bad enough that consumers rise up, that's when we'll get another era of antitrust." How much money is involved? ~ Kristin Ohlson
Antitrust quotes by Kristin Ohlson
Beware of that profound enemy of the free enterprise system who pays lip-service to free competition, but also labels every antitrust prosecution as a persecution. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
Antitrust quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
(When the company was finally broken up in the 1980s to satisfy antitrust regulators, it was worth more than the combined worth of General Electric, General Motors, Ford, IBM, Xerox, and Coca-Cola, and employed a million people.) Bell moved to Washington, D.C., became ~ Bill Bryson
Antitrust quotes by Bill Bryson
[The Sherman Antitrust Act,] which was intended to abolish the primary trust . . . has merely driven it into a new and utterly impregnable position [the corporation]. ~ James Livingston
Antitrust quotes by James  Livingston
Like other antitrust agencies we make our assessment of a merger or antitrust case based on its impact on our jurisdiction, and not on the nationality of the companies. This is exactly what the U.S. antitrust agencies, the Justice Department and the FTC, do. ~ Mario Monti
Antitrust quotes by Mario Monti
My current goal is to change the way we think about antitrust and anti-monopoly. ~ Zephyr Teachout
Antitrust quotes by Zephyr Teachout
The history of antitrust law enforcement shows that successful antitrust prosecutions have often strengthened and brought vitality to extremely large companies and businesses. ~ Robert Kennedy
Antitrust quotes by Robert Kennedy
Apple Settles E-Book Antitrust Case Reuters ~ Anonymous
Antitrust quotes by Anonymous
Under the antitrust laws, a man becomes a criminal from the moment he goes into business, no matter what he does. If he complies with one of these laws, he faces criminal prosecution under several others. For instance, if he charges prices which some bureaucrats judge as too high, he can be prosecuted for monopoly or for a successful 'intent to monopolize'; if he charges prices lower than those of his competitors, he can be prosecuted for 'unfair competition' or 'restraint of trade'; and if he charges the same prices as his competitors, he can be prosecuted for 'collusion' or 'conspiracy.' ~ Ayn Rand
Antitrust quotes by Ayn Rand
In reality, that was going to be very messy from an antitrust standpoint and meet a lot of resistance from the top management at Hasbro. That was a whole different story. ~ Harold L. Vogel
Antitrust quotes by Harold L. Vogel
Why should antitrust laws be used to block mergers that the market, by the existence of willing buyers and sellers, shows to be desirable? ~ HENRY MANNE
Antitrust quotes by HENRY MANNE
We had planned to integrate a Web browser with our operating system as far back as 1993( filing its first court responses to federal antitrust) ~ Bill Gates
Antitrust quotes by Bill Gates
Vigilant and effective antitrust enforcement today is preferable to the heavy hand of government regulation of the Internet tomorrow. ~ Orrin Hatch
Antitrust quotes by Orrin Hatch
As freak legislation, the antitrust laws stand alone. Nobody knows what it is they forbid. ~ Isabel Paterson
Antitrust quotes by Isabel Paterson
Antitrust is the way that the government promotes markets when there are market failures. It has nothing to do with the idea of free information. ~ Bill Gates
Antitrust quotes by Bill Gates
This antitrust thing will blow over. ~ Bill Gates
Antitrust quotes by Bill Gates
I have the most profound respect for the Department of Justice and the FTC. We in Europe are a younger and I would say junior institution to the historical antitrust experience of the US. ~ Mario Monti
Antitrust quotes by Mario Monti
A competitive threat is not the same thing as an antitrust violation ... It is difficult to make out FairSearch's precise antitrust arguments. There are alternatives to ITA's software: both the GDSs but also upstarts such as the U.K.'s Everbread Ltd., which has relationships with 60 low-cost carriers, and Vayant Travel Technologies LLC of New York. It isn't clear, therefore, that competition would be reduced even if Googled didn't honor ITA's contracts with other travel companies. ~ Peter Gallagher
Antitrust quotes by Peter Gallagher
The power of the big fish in general to regroup is hardly restricted to banking. When Standard Oil was broken up in 1911, the immediate effect was to replace a national monopoly with a number of regional monopolies controlled by many of the same Wall Street interests. Ultimately, the regional monopolies regrouped: In 1999 Exxon (formerly Standard Oil Company of New Jersey) and Mobil (formerly Standard Oil Company of New York) reconvened in one of the largest mergers in US history. In 1961 Kyso (formerly Standard Oil of Kentucky) was purchased by Chevron (formerly Standard Oil of California); and in the 1960s and 1970s Sohio (formerly Standard Oil of Ohio) was bought by British Petroleum (BP), which then, in 1998, merged with Amoco (formerly Standard Oil of Indiana).

The tale of AT&T is similar. As the result of an antitrust settlement with the government, on January 1, 1984, AT&T spun off its local operations so as to create seven so-called Baby Bells. But the Baby Bells quickly began to merge and regroup. By 2006 four of the Baby Bells were reunited with their parent company AT&T, and two others (Bell Atlantic and NYNEX) merged to form Verizon.

So the hope that you can make a banking breakup stick (even if it were to be achieved) flies in the face of some pretty daunting experience. Also, note carefully a major political fact: The time when traditional reformers had enough power to make tough banking regulation really work was the time when ~ Gar Alperovitz
Antitrust quotes by Gar Alperovitz
A significant piece of the wealth that the NFL owners garner is a result of the enormous TV revenues they get - and those revenues are supported by a legislatively granted exemption from the antitrust laws that has been made applicable to sports leagues, primarily the NFL. ~ Eliot Spitzer
