The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is an administer of the competition and Consumer Act (CCA) which is to prevent collusion among the firms and to prevent the individual firm which break the market equilibrium with their market power.

As the big businesses grew and created monopolies, they began to bring in huge incomes. The leaders of industry had a belief that they needed to help the poor, but they did not do it in a sincere way, they did it to become their agent and gain their trust.

Antitrust law in the United States is a collection of federal and state government laws regulating the conduct and organization of business corporations with the intent to promote fair competition in an open-market economy for the benefit of the public. Congress passed the first antitrust statute, the Sherman Antitrust Act, in 1890 in response to the public outrage toward big business. In 1914, Congress passed two additional antitrust laws: the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Clayton Act. (The Antitrust Laws. Web.)

Capitalism. It’s one of the greatest systems for our nation. It can be argued that capitalism is one of the ways that American’s maintain their freedom from the government. When does capitalism turn to monopolization? In the United States we have a free trade market. Even so, there are big corporations that seem to take over. Wal-Mart offers low prices, convenient locations, and access to various products in the same location. Wal-Mart makes money and consumers get low prices. It would seem like a perfect relationship. When something is too good to be true, it probably isn’t, or in this case has unintended consequences.

In our case, the public would be harmed by not enforcing the non-competition provision. If the provision is not enforced, it would result in the reduction of an embryologist. Since there are no other clinics in Iowa, patients would be underserved. The public would be deprived of medical services because having one less embryologist would increase the workload on the remaining embryologist until a new embryologist is hired. Enforcing the non-competition provision would negatively impact the public. As mentioned previously, the process can be extensive considering there is likely a high demand in Iowa to find employment in this field.

The Sherman Act was passed in 1890, which aimed at preserving competition as the rule of trade. In 1914, congressed passed the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Clayton Act. Some revisions have been added to the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Act, and the Sherman Act of 1890, the three acts are still at the core of federal antitrust laws in present time. Antitrust laws protect the process of competition for the benefit of customers, making sure that there are strong incentives for businesses to operate effectively, keep prices down, and keep quality up (“The Antitrust Laws,” ftc.gov, February 11, 2016). Healthcare practices that cause inefficiencies in quality of care that result in higher prices are a violation of the Sherman

Excellent post this week! The driving force behind a labor dispute is usually associated with money. There is typically a demand for an owner to increase their profits each year, while the players desire to make more money each year as well. The benefits of a collective bargaining agreement are that it will ensure there is some level of equality for both the owners and the players in negotiations. What is your opinion on the Sherman Antitrust Act? Do you believe that baseball should be treated as if it were any other sport? The Sherman Antitrust Act was established in order to allow baseball to operate more freely, but at what cost to everyone else? These players were absolutely treated like a piece of property, which is somewhat understandable

In competition law, the vertical organization of a company is relates to that corporations supply chain. Occasionally, a single firm may have fully integrated this supply chain (owning every step from production through sale) but are most often only done so partially. The development of new drugs and technologies falls under intellectual property and may be protected from other competitors by use of patents (Abbott). This actually halts any competition at all in that the patent owner may (and often will) restrict the sale of nearly identical products completely.
