Germany and Japan hold senior status among the many countries that have enacted antitrust legislation. Haley (U. of Washington School of Law) notes that he developed the first course outside of
Japan regularly taught on Japanese antitrust law, based on his law experience in Tokyo in the early 1970s. In the 1980s, the author researched comparable German legislation in that country.
From this background, he redresses the lack of comparative studies on antitrust law in these two major economic powers by surveying their development, enforcement, considerable similarities,
contrasts, and effect on public attitudes toward practices such as price fixing. Earlier versions of some chapters previously appeared elsewhere. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
