What Changes Might, and Should, a New FTC Majority Bring?
The question on everyone’s mind—that is, for those in antitrust law and economics, the question on everyone’s mind that’s about antitrust—is this: Where do we go from here?
As it happens, the International Center for Law & Economics (ICLE) recently hosted a panel discussion on precisely that question. ICLE’s Geoff Manne moderated an excellent discussion with panelists Maureen Ohlhausen, now the head of Wilson Sonsini’s competition practice and former commissioner and acting chair of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC); William Blumenthal, recently retired from Sidley and former FTC general counsel; and Andrew Finch, currently with Cravath and former principal deputy U.S. assistant attorney general and acting assistant attorney general for antitrust. For those who missed it, it’s must-see TV. Or, at least, must-see YouTube.
