Coming on the heels of Australia's 'effects' amendment to its unilateral conduct law, Kemp's book promises to be an important tool in interpreting the new law wisely and pragmatically. Her thoughtful synthesis of how to minimize error costs and provide certainty, administrability and legitimacy may be a beacon for interpreting dominance and monopoly laws around the world.' Eleanor M. Fox, Walter J. Derenberg Professor of Trade Regulation, New York University School of Law\u003cbr\u003e'Katharine's interventions in the debate leading up to the recent reforms to section 46 of Australia's Competition and Consumer Act were scholarly, insightful and influential. Her contributions also helped to moderate the tone of public commentary that occasionally became quite confused. In this book she has now brought her reasoned and careful approach to an excellent exposition of the issues in this most complex area of competition policy and law. Her fascinating description of the development of abuse of dominance and monopolization laws in England, Germany, Australia, Europe and the United States gives valuable historical context to her careful analysis of the arguments that have surrounded the framing and application of the laws that seek to keep the power of oligarchs and monopolists in check. Katharine's book will be a valuable resource for my ACCC colleagues, students, academics, legal practitioners, and I suspect, the Courts. It will be a key tool as we all seek to apply Australia's misuse of market power law in years to come. It is also an impressive addition to the international debate about the scope of laws and policies addressing anticompetitive action by dominant businesses.'
