A model 'antitrust bill of rights'? the citizen jury in world antimonopoly policy
Article Abstract:
US antitrust law has a proud history dating from the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, but the federal courts and right-wing economics have stopped all forward progress. Monopolies discovered that federal judges, right-wing by nature, believed that monopolies represented the ultimate in industrial efficiency and that Congressiional opposition to monopoly was wrong. Scholars were found for evidence on the needed anti-monopoly theory and the courts stopped enforcing the law. Posts to antitrust Internet discussion groups give the views of a citizen jury, the only hope for advancing antimonopoly policy.

Antitrust and the Internet discussion groups: good people in the 95% 'lurking majority.'
Article Abstract:
The Web site and the Internet discussion list will spread antimonopoly policy in a way that will greatly increase its persuasive power. The Web sites on this subject allow the display of much material at low cost. This will document the efforts of societies throughout the world to divest themselves of the burden of economic monopoly. The discussion list is an interactive forum allowing people the world over to exchange thoughts on a given topic. If participants in a list had to give their qualifications in a subject, insulting criticism could be taken with the appropriate grain of salt.

Ralph Nader on antitrust: is this the best he can do?
Article Abstract:
Ralph Nader's biggest effort in the antitrust area, the funding of an Internet antitrust discussion list under the name Antitrust Policy & Enforcement (http://www.essential.org/antitrust), under the leadership of Jamie Love, an economist without antitrust experience, quickly became essentially moribund. Nader's great talents as a public advocate evidently do not extend to the area of personnel selection.
