AAG-Designate Christine Varney on Section 2: Audio from AAI Conference

2/11/2009

At the AAI annual conference in June 2008, Christine Varney, President Obama's nominee for the top antitrust position at DOJ, spoke on a panel about Section 2 of the Sherman Act.  She generally endorsed the AAI's transition recommendations and commented on the need for creating the right political climate for Section 2 intervention, the difficult intersection of Section 2 and intellectual property, the potential monopoly power of Google, and the risk that Europe will have the more influential role on dealing with dominant firms unless the DOJ takes a more active role.
