On Antitrust Policies (Don Boudreaux interview on video)

I have edited a new video like the previous one. This time is Donald Boudreaux, chairman of Economics Department at George Mason University, talking about antitrust policies in an interview on EconTalk about market failure. He deals with its origins in the late 19th century and concludes that antitrust policies were means used by producers to halt competition in very dynamic industries.

Armentano has published some very good works on this issue.
He says that the same things (as Donald says about beef and firms in the late 19th century) could be said for Microsoft, Standard Oil or other classic cases.

You may have already watched this video because I uploaded some days ago and appeared in Cafe Hayek.
