F. M. Scherer is Aetna Professor of Public Policy and Corporate Management in the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and former chief economist of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. His numerous publications include Competition Policies for an Integrated World Economy (Brookings, 1994)

"In conclusion, in a style accessible to all, the book provides food for thought on a whole range of controversial issues. It is highly recommendable for undergraduates and postgraduates, but arguably even more so for those in the world of university and business who have to take important decisions so often that they have no time left to dedicate to reading. Scherer's is a readable yet rigorous summing-up and in a world in which we increasingly complain about the lack of a linkage between the academic world and the real one, we have to be grateful to him for that." —D. Archibugi, Rome, Italy, Journal of Economics, vol. 73, no. 2; 2001|"Scherer... accomplishes much in this short book.... Accessible to a wide audience, this book is recommended for public, adacemic, and professional collections." —J. M. Nowakowski, Muskingum College
