This work is a comprehensive examination of the development of modern antitrust law in the U.S. and Europe.  A history of major antitrust cases, those that were critical to the development of Antitrust law, are examined.  Later chapters examine recent cases of price-fixing, and demonstrate that globalization has made collusion more attractive to firms, as they attempt to adjust to the more competitive environment airing from declining trade barriers.  The final chapter examines regulatory reforms designed to address the recent surge in price-fixing.
