When major suppliers independently (or otherwise) perceive that they can collectively control the market price of a product, is it collusion? Not necessarily. Yet for consumers this \-interdependent pricing\—variously called tacit collusion, or conscious parallellism-is experienced precisely as collusion would be experienced.

Antitrust authorities encounter great difficulties coping with such markets. Can this situation be remedied? Here is a deeply researched and very detailed book that explores, as thoroughly as has ever been done whether competition law can combat oligopolistic markets. Drawing on the two bodies of law-U.S. and EC-that offer the widest range of experience, US and EC Oligopoly Control assesses whether, by the rule of law, the destructive economic trend that is becoming more and more characteristic of today's global economy can be countered by means of applying the core competition provisions.
