Ron Knox (EDT) Obama Trials

Annotation

The Obama Trials describes in vivid detail the lawsuits and courtroom battles that have defined the antitrust legacy of President Barack Obama. Built around Obama's campaign trail promise to reinvigorate antitrust enforcement in the US, the book explores whether and how that promise was kept - from the early structural reorganization of the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, to the near unprecedented string of courtroom victories by it and the Federal Trade Commission. Written by reporters who covered the administration and the lawyers who brought the cases to court, the book provides a window into antitrust enforcement amid seismic economic changes.
