Abstract

Most areas of law enforcement require investigative tools to provide evidence of violations and harm. Antitrust law’s single-minded focus on prices, output, and innovation explains its selection of economic tools. These tools were pro-enforcement and were embraced consistently by the Supreme Court, including proponents of scientific evidence such as Justice Brandeis.
