Global Price Fixing - Our Customers are the Enemy (Hardcover, 2001 ed.)

The goal of "Global Price Fixing" is to describe andanalyze the origins, operation, and impacts of global cartels in themarkets for lysine, citric acid, and vitamins. The work isfundamentally a historical approach to understanding the interplayamong personal motivations, economic forces, and the enforcement ofthe competition laws of the major industrial nations.The first chapter highlights the renewed importance of internationalprice-fixing conspiracies after an absence of nearly 50 years. Twofollowing chapters provide background on the economics theory andlegal principles relevant to understanding cartels. Nine followingchapters comprise the economic core of this book. Three chapters aredevoted to each of the three cartels selected for intensive study: citric acid, lysine, and vitamins. The next four chapters thenconcentrate on the legal fallout from the discovery of the threecartels by the world's antitrust authorities. Chapter 17 provides adescription of a few additional selected cartels with features notfound in the lysine, citric acid, and vitamins cases. The penultimatechapter considers whether the antitrust resources of governmentagencies and private plaintiffs are sufficient to deter global pricefixing in the foreseeable future. This final chapter attempts toidentify major themes that appear throughout the book and to provide asummary of the ultimate impact of the global-cartel pandemic of the1990s.
