Government Regulation or Antitrust Measures
For Week 8 you will find two topics. Select one topic, then post and concisely defend your view. You may post to both topics, but are required to only select one for your initial post. Be careful to identify the positive reasons for your normative position. Read and respond to your fellow student’s postings at will. The topics to choose from are:
Select a Government Regulation. Identify a particular government regulation of your choosing that in your opinion has either been successful or a failure. Briefly state the original purpose of this regulation and whether it has changed over time. Then, concisely defend your view on whether you favor the expansion or reduction of the enforcing regulatory agency.
Anti-trust Measures. Identify a particular market that has experienced government anti-trust efforts or you think should have antitrust efforts. Analyze what type of market structure was in existence at the time of the anti-trust measures or is in currently. Then justify whether the market justified(s) the intervention.
