California's antitrust case against Amazon feels anachronistic, like a witchcraft charge, or some other ancient crime that we no longer prosecute. It's true, antitrust spent 40 year in a coma! The Amazon case neatly illustrates how it was sedated, and why it finally roused. 1/ The flag of California. It ...

Back in the Reagan years, antitrust underwent a profound change. For 90 years, US trustbusters pursued monopolists under a "harmful dominance" theory. 3/
