This study of the normative justification for the use of criminal sanctions as a means of cartel control goes beyond the historical and economic viewpoints by adding a normative evaluation of anti-cartel regimes and analysing cartel control in the USA, Europe and the UK. The analysis is unique in seeking to establish why, in a liberal society, criminal sanctions should apply to individuals who participate in this sort of activity. Although cartels have been rhetorically likened to theft and fraud, there are significant differences. Notwithstanding these differences, Cartels, Markets and Crime presents an argument for the criminalisation of economic collusion and, with this argument in mind, analyses the regimes of the USA, EU and UK and considers the possibility of global convergence.

Quels sont les rapports entre taille et performances des entreprises ? Leurs stratégies s’adaptent-elles aux activités ? Existe-t-il un niveau optimal de spécialisation ? À ces questions, l’histoire économique apporte des réponses qui éclairent les enjeux du présent. Cet ouvrage le montre à travers les contributions d’une équipe plurinationale, formée à l’occasion d’un programme de recherche sur les rapports entre entreprises et territoires en Europe du Nord-Ouest continentale durant les trois derniers siècles. Les entreprises sont analysées dans des perspectives diverses soulignant l’absence de schémas univoques. Entre taille, secteur et stratégie, aucune combinaison ne leur garantit la réussite et la pérennité. C’est au contraire de leur capacité d’adaptation au changement et de remise en cause des acquis que dépend le succès. Les contributions étudient successivement dans cette optique le degré de concentration et le dualisme présents dans plusieurs secteurs, puis l’importance de la taille, enfin l’insertion des entreprises face aux acteurs et institutions qui les environnent. Les méthodes employées sont variées : monographies, rapports d’activité, études statistiques, délibérations des organisations professionnelles, correspondance des autorités de tutelle, travaux des observateurs contemporains… Elles illustrent la diversité d’approches d’une histoire d’entreprise qui, loin d’être refermée sur elle-même, se veut à la confluence de multiples disciplines de sciences sociales.

Is it the central purpose of American antitrust policy to encourage decentralization of economic power? Or is it to promote "consumer welfare"? Is there a painful trade-off between market dominance and economic "efficiency"? What is the proper role of government in this area? In recent years the public policy debate on these core questions has been marked by a cacophony of divergent opinions--theorists against empiricists, apostles of the "new learning" against defenders of the traditional structure-conduct-performance paradigm, "laissez-faire" advocates against "interventionists." Utilizing a distinctively innovative format, Walter Adams and James Brock examine these issues in the context of a courtroom dialogue among a proponent of the new learning (Chicago School), a prosecuting attorney, and a U.S. district judge. In contrast to bloodless "scientific" treatises or ideologically inspired polemical tracts, this book lays bare the central arguments in the debate about free-market economics and the latent assumptions and disguised terminology on which those arguments are based. The dialogue is both gripping and entertaining--designed by the authors to be reminiscent at times of the Theater of the Absurd.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The book presents theoretical and empirical research on the integrated assessment of cartels’ effects on national economies. The empirical analysis is based on three cases in Lithuania, a country chosen because it corresponds to the features of a small economy with a developing culture of competition. An integrated assessment of a cartel’s impact by measuring the net economic effect created by its operations on the market is extremely important at the scale of national economies. If a cartel’s true impact is not identified and evaluated, it is impossible to make important strategic decisions, for the whole economy instead of individual affected parties, and to establish an optimum baseline for mitigating the harm done to the economy. Thus, an integrated cartel impact assessment can help to more proactively combat cartel agreements on the market and improve the economic welfare of the respective country.  .
