Description
Book SynopsisThis study of cartels and the reasons for criminalising economic collusion examines and evaluates the regimes of the USA, EU and UK and critically assesses attempts and suggestions for international convergence. The book goes beyond the standard economic and historical approaches prevalent in this area.
Trade Review'Cartels, Markets and Crime advances a normative justification of the criminalisation of cartel conduct based on Rawls' Theory of Justice. It is an interesting addition to the literature, much of which is dominated by law and economics theories and contentions.' Brent Fisse, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books (clcjbooks.rutgers.edu)
