RESOLVED: THE CONSUMER WELFARE STANDARD MUST (NOT) CHANGE 

Presented by the Legislation Committee

For more than 40 years, the consumer welfare standard has guided antitrust policy and enforcement. But today the enforcement agencies, the White House, and Congress are debating whether that standard must change to accommodate the economic realities of the 21st century. Hear two sides debate whether the time is ripe for such a change.
