Alexander Styhre, Professor in Business Administration, School of Business, Economics and Law, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

‘As the dynamism of the US and other advanced economies appears to be damaged by a lethal combination of low interest rates, plunging productive investments, real wage stagnation, rising household debt and growing inequalities, the concentration of economic power, and its political expression, are plain for all to see. Antitrust is once again high on the political agenda. Alexander Styhre’s new book tackles these questions head-on. It offers a lucid reading of the causes and consequences of the new corporate landscape that will interest both the New Brandeisians and their opponents. And his conclusions – that greater market competition is a good thing, but that the corporate system also needs to allocate the economic value it generates in ways that render it more legitimate in the eyes of its constituencies – will surely resonate with many today.’

• Contents: Preface 1. The reformation of economic policies after the 2008 finance industry crisis 2. Legal theory doctrines and economic concentration: the ebbs and flows of antitrust enforcement 3. The consequences of economic concentration: declining dynamics in the US economy 4. Navigating in concentrated economies: issues, controversies, and prospects Bibliography Index
