The LPE Project created a series of primers for the Anti-Monopoly and Regulated Industries Summer Academy in the hopes of making some pertinent scholarly debates more accessible to the participants in the AMRI academy.

The goal of the seminar was threefold: to get the students — and ultimately the next generation…
In the legal academy and elsewhere, the dominant way of thinking about the process of production, commerce, finance, and social provision more generally is the framework of neoclassical economics. So hegemonic is the orthodoxy that its models are commonly treated as the only way to think clearly about how these phenomena work. The notion that…
