Overview

"Dubbed ""the dean of American antitrust law"" by the New York Times, Herbert Hovenkamp is almost universally recognized as the most cited and the most authoritative US antitrust scholar.

This tribute book honors Professor Hovenkamp's rich career and lasting influence by gathering contributions from his friends, from fellow academics to civil servants. Divided over six chapters, these contributions address areas of Professor Hovenkamp's scholarship: antitrust reform, the role of economics in antitrust law and innovation and intellectual property. Through these articles, the reader can delve into the history of competition law as elucidated by Professor Hovenkamp, and thus chart a path for its future."

How do you write a tribute to international antitrust superstar Prof. Hovenkamp? A gigantic task. To do so, this book brings together antitrust thought-leaders the world over. Its chapters discuss Prof. Hovenkamp's important contributions, and highlight their relevance today, when basic assumptions relating to antitrust enforcement, such as where to err and how to define market power and abusive conduct, are being challenged. In line with Prof. Hovenkamps immense contributions, the book combines legal, economic and policy analysis, which are essential for the road to come. Michal S. Gal, University of Haifa For the first time in years, antitrust leads the news cycle. What role should the consumer welfare standard play? What to make of aggressive proposals to break up Big Tech? Amidst these gale force winds buffeting antitrust, one anchor stands tall: the Dean of Antitrust, Herb Hovenkamp. Herb's views, as elaborated in his 20-volume treatise and current articles, serve as the starting point for thinking about these issues. Concurrences has put together a fabulous collection of many of the leading lights in antitrust today to weigh in on his lifetime contributions. In understanding where antitrust is today, and where it may be headed in the future, the collection is not to be missed! Michal A. Carrier, Rutgers Law School No contemporary scholar has had a greater influence on antitrust law than Herb Hovenkamp. It is fitting, therefore, that he is the subject of a Libor Amicorum at this time of foment and uncertainty about antitrust law. And it is not surprising that the articles in this collection find in Herb's work a foundation for analyzing the current controversies. Douglas Melamed, Stanford Law School
