Explores the durability of free competition imagery by tracing its influences on public policy. Looking at congressional debates & hearings, admin. agency activities, court opinions, arguments of counsel, & economic, legal, & political scholarship, Peritz finds that free competition has actually evoked two different visions -- freedom not only from oppressive gov't., but also from private economic power. His historical inquiry into competition policy as a series of gov't. directives, inspired by two complex yet distinct & sometimes contradictory visions of free competition, provides an indispensable framework for understanding modern political economy -- whether political campaign finance reform, corp. takeover reg'n. or current attitudes toward the New Deal legacy.Peritz, Rudolph J.
