Competition and Consumer Protection

This highly readable introductory text is a comparative study of perhaps the most criticized aspects of Big Business, whether in the United Kingdom, Europe or the United States. The book begins with an explanation of various phenomena involved; there follows an analysis of their likely effects on economic welfare and pertormance, and an examination of just how much empirical evidence exists for a number of widely held hypotheses. Professor Swann then looks at an element that most economists tend to neglect – the consumers themselves.
