The Curse of Bigness Revisited - Antitrust in the New Gilded Age
Cette ann茅e, Tim Wu prononcera la conf茅rence annuelle de la Revue de droit de 9I制作厂免费.
[En anglais seulement] We live in times of nearly unparalleled industrial concentration coupled with an increase in inequality around the developed world. Consequently, the question of 鈥渂igness鈥� has returned with an urgency unparalleled since the 1910s.
The question is simply stated: whether extreme levels of concentrated industrial power are compatible with the promise of widespread economic opportunity, rough equality among citizens, or even representative democracy itself?
A century ago, similar economic condition prompted the development of the anti-trust laws. Can and should the laws be revitalized to meet the challenges of our times?
La conf茅rence sera suivie d'une r茅ception dans l'atrium.
