Fair Fight in the Marketplace

Produced with the American Antitrust Institute, and hosted by NPR and Fox News commentator Mara Liasson, Fair Fight in the Marketplace provides an engaging look at our antitrust laws that give protection to both American consumers and businesses. The film features three recent case studies: Archer Daniels Midland Company leading a worldwide price-fixing conspiracy; Mylan Pharmaceuticals cutting off supplies to competitors to inflate product pricing; and Microsoft's bullying behavior to eliminate Netscape as an effective competitor in the internet browser market.

Distinguished authorities in law and economics offer context and commentary, while noted business journalists provide special insights and bring a seemingly impenetrable subject into meaningful focus. Victims from the corporate schemes relate the impact on their lives and give viewers a sense of how antitrust laws affect everyday matters like product pricing, selection, and quality.
