Algunas grandes frases sobre la competencia

Antitrust policy normally seeks to deter misconduct rather than subject businesses to regulatory controls
MURIS

¨Looking over the entire history of U.S. antitrust law, I conclude that the most powerful explanatory variable is simply the state of economic opinion. Antitrust doctrine has changed more or less in tandem with changes in economic theory, albeit with a lag”
R. POSNER

“Competition and the process of creative destruction not only increase the efficiency of the economic system… but they also increase the amount of risk that individuals have to bear”
RAJAN/ZINGALES

There is a fundamental tension underlying any market economy. On the one hand, everybody is a consumer, standing to benefit from competition. More competition leads to better quality goods at lower prices… At the same time, everybody is a producer of goods and services, and in that role would like to have as little competition as possible. Workdays would be less stressful and remunerations higher if we faced no competition. You cannot have both, societies must choose between competition and monopolies… competition must prevail, for otherwise reforms are likely to be overturned at some point in the future. Citizens benefit from market oriented reforms when competition is allowed to prevail.
Eduardo Engel

“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our necessities but of their advantages.”
Adam Smith

Principles of fairness and justice are extraneous to competition law: the lion eats the deer.
Marc van der Woude

“la concorrenza è la democrazia dei rapporti economici”
G. Tesauro

La competencia es the action of endeavoring to gain what another endeavors to gain at the same time”
Dr. Samuel Johnson

A “radical” invention implies a new monopoly price below the old competitive price.
Arrow

Judge Learned Hand wrote as early as 1916 that ‘the consumer’s interest in the long run is quite different from an immediate fall in prices’ and spoke of competition as a ‘proper stimulus to maintenance of industrial advance. Using the right concepts imperfectly is better than precisely applying the wrong ones.
Sidak/Teece

A monopolist need not have market power. Consider the local grocery in a small rural town in France in which no one has cars. The grocery has a monopoly on local groceries. Given the ease of entry, however, it lacks market power to raise its prices above a competitive level.
Adam Candeub

"[e]very agreement concerning trade, every regulation of trade, restrains. To bind, to restrain, is of their very essence
Board of Trade of Chicago v. United States, 246 U.S. 231, 238 (1918)

Edison y los falsos fracasos

51VHpd2zgHL._SY346_
“Thomas Edison probó centenares de materiales antes de descubrir que la fibra de bambú podía servir como filamento de una bombilla. Cuando le preguntaron a qué atribuía él equivocarse tanto, dicen que contestó: <<No me he equivocado 700 veces. No me he equivocado ni una sola vez. He conseguido probar que cada una de las 700 formas en las que lo he intentado no funcionan. Una vez eliminados todos los procesos que no funcionan, encontraré la forma que sí funcione”.
