I want to write an article eventually about how great the antitrust laws are.

Article 1. This Act prohibits private monopolies, unfair restraint of trade, and unfair trade practices, prevents excessive concentration of business control, and eliminates undue restrictions on production, sales, prices, technology, and all other undue restraints on business activities by means of combinations, agreements, and the like, thereby promoting fair and free competition and encouraging business creativity. The purpose of this Act is to promote the democratic and sound development of the national economy, as well as to secure the interests of ordinary consumers, by encouraging the exercise of creativity and business activity, and by raising the level of employment and real income of the people.


This page is auto-translated from /nishio/独占禁止法 using DeepL. If you looks something interesting but the auto-translated English is not good enough to understand it, feel free to let me know at @nishio_en. I’m very happy to spread my thought to non-Japanese readers.
