The LPE Project

There’s a reason that companies like Live Nation and Netflix (before it abandoned its acquisition of Warner Bros.) love to make expansive, sometimes absurd, claims about market definition: as the Supreme Court has narrowed the scope of per se illegality in antitrust law, plaintiffs are required to demonstrate that defendants possess market power. And, as I explain in my first @LPEblog post, one way to make this requirement more burdensome is to turn the trial into a costly, complex fight over market definition. Special thanks to the editors, @j_e_brandt and Liz Brown, for asking the hard questions, as well as to @mypaperboat and @TedTatos for wonderful comments. lpeproject.org/blog/the-marke…

Today, Noam Maggor concludes our symposium on @JasonBJackson's *Traders, Speculators, and Captains of Industry.* Although rooted in Indian history, he argues, the book’s thoroughly global-comparative mode of analysis allows it to resonate far beyond South Asia.

Today, @veenadubal and @AzizaAhmed discuss the feminist lawyers and activists who transformed the law and science of AIDS, the CDC’s willful ignorance around the disease’s reach, and the adverse public health consequences of carceral feminism.
