競爭法的考量

"Antitrust is an economic, not a moral, enterprise. Nor is its goal compensation for competition's victims, albeit the competitive process produces many. Antitrust is a defensible enterprise only if intervention into the market is economically justified. That entails that the market be "bigger" in some sense as a result of intervention - whether "bigger" is measured by higher output, improved quality, lower prices, or more innnovation. Furthermore, the increase must be enough to justify the high cost of operating the antitrust machinery." - The Antitrust Enterprise by Herbert Hovenkamp
