Consumer sovereignty: a unified theory of antitrust and consumer protection law

Article Abstract:

Consumer protection laws and antitrust laws should be seen as two components of a unified theory of consumer sovereignty, but the distinction between the two areas of law should be retained. Antitrust law focuses on distortions or restrictions of consumer choices that would otherwise be available, and consumer protection law focuses on interferences with the choices consumers face in the market. Practitioners, economists and agencies should see the two fields as interrelated and complementary. The dual jurisdiction of the Federal Trade Commission suggests the merit of this approach.
