Abstract
In antitrust policy the Nixon Administration has sprinted away to a fast start in the wrong direction. The Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice appears in danger of not only missing a rare and invaluable opportunity to reform this sadly decayed field, but – if its unreflective assault on conglomerate mergers is a taste of the future – making a bad situation much worse. If it wishes to pursue a course that is responsible and constructive, this Administration had better pause and take serious thought about the proper goals of antitrust and the means by which they can be achieved.
