| Antitrust Law in the New Economy Subjects: Antitrust law -- United States; Information services -- Law and legislation -- United States; Consumer protection -- Law and legislation -- United States; Deceptive advertising -- Law and legislation -- United States; Disclosure of information -- Law and; Markets run on information. Buyers make decisions by relying on their knowledge of the products available, and sellers decide what to produce based on their understanding of what buyers want. But the distribution of market information has changed, as consumers increasingly turn to sources that act as intermediaries for information--companies like Yelp and Google. Antitrust Law in the New Economy considers a wide range of problems that arise around one aspect of information in the marketplace: its quality. Mark R. Patterson is Professor of Law at Fordham University School of Law. |
