Dichotomy (explaining how better administered concept of the legally fictional, but very

useful, regulation-competition dichotomy could inform the administration of a number of

crucial judicial functions)

Incorporating Systemic Risk Measurement in Financial Sector Merger Review (examining

ways that theoretically based risk measurement could inform federal review of financial

institution mergers, in a principled and manageable way similar to antitrust pre-merger

clearance, a process now largely non-existent)

American History and the Political Economy of Business Collaboration: A Brief Analysis

for Legal Theory (a brief legal history of legally recognized collaborations, like corporations,

corporate families, and joint ventures, all of which are comparatively recent, and an

explanation of the usefulness of that history for current legal theory)

Antitrust, Institutional Personality, and the Presumption of Individualism in American Policy

(observing an inner conflict in competition policy between its purportedly whole-hearted

commitment to welfare economics, including its focus on allocational efficiency, and the

large number of rules that continue to serve individualist values; the conflict lies in the fact

that welfare economics is inherently collectivist and incompatible with principled

individualism)
