Chapter 19 - Antitrust policy and regulation. In this chapter we will examine the laws that reflect the foundation of antitrust policy in the U.S., along with the application of the antitrust laws by the U.S. courts. We will then look at industrial regulation of natural monopolies, examining the case for and against industrial regulation as well as the results of deregulation. Lastly, we will look at social regulation and how it differs from industrial regulation.
