This paper analyzes the three main antitrust laws that the federal branch of the United States government uses to try to restrict monopolies.

The predominant view in the United States is that The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 was passed with the intent to protect consumers from inefficient market forms, and predation by large corporations. The specific provisions of the Sherman Act, as well as the later Clayton Act of 1914, prohibit acts that are considered to be anti competitive such as cartels, monopolies, price discrimination, and predatory pricing.

Antitrust policies are mot harmful to society than they are helpful. The Antitrust laws that were apparently focused on the restriction of monopolies for the safeguarding public welfare and just prices have instead been used by the government in ways that are more harmful to consumers than beneficial.

You can drive, grab a bus, take a train or even get a quick workout and walk. However, as society progressed and wages increased, people start spending money on other ways to get around instead of driving themselves such as Uber: an app that allows other people to drive you places for a small fee depending on its location.

Although insurance and maintenance can be pricey; Uber is a relatively cheap and easy system of transportation, although it can be unreliable.

While such hesitancy and anxiety are understandable during the initial emergence of a disruptive technology, the multifamily industry might be better served to embrace the reality of Airbnb and the sharing economy.
