From ALCOA in the 1950s to IBM in the 1970s to Wal-Mart in the 1980s, the government's goal has always been the same: prosecute an exceptional firm that is growing rich not through theft or fraud, but through superior production and voluntary trade. 14ee8faca594a0b490ddf177e060348e http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/microsoft/2145-the-meaning-of-microsoft-s-victory.html Microsoft Wed, 06 Nov 2002 06:00:00 +0000 If corporate defendants begin to factor into their strategies that they just might win -- and if regulators and especially state attorneys general begin to factor into their strategies that they just might lose -- perhaps capitalists won't be in such a hurry to march themselves into the gas chamber at the first threat of prosecution. 7f96a247a15675d5a4f6a2baea7bfc85 http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/microsoft/1805-a-letter-to-the-department-of-justice-concerning-the-microsoft-antitrust-case.html Microsoft Fri, 16 Aug 2002 05:00:00 +0000 Sun Microsystems, Netscape, Oracle and now AOL want to use the predatory power of government to skew the market in their favor. They want the government to protect them from the free market. 7414595086870cc2d860827ca6e94b82 http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/microsoft/1675-microsoft-s-nose-technology-s-face.html Microsoft Mon, 24 Jun 2002 05:00:00 +0000 In a painstakingly detailed analysis, Bittlingmayer and Hazlett found that "government action against Microsoft appears to inflict capital losses on the computer sector as a whole." In other words, the time and money that Oracle, Sun, and AOL have spent encouraging government to harm Microsoft has also hurt them and their industry. 410d82bf618f03ffe9c0a9ab82338fac http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/microsoft/1664-microsoft-s-crimes-against-humanity-the-wild-west-world-of-antitrust-litigation.html Microsoft Thu, 20 Jun 2002 05:00:00 +0000 Now interest groups that have an ax to grind with a company can go forum shopping for states that allow secondary consumers to sue under local antitrust laws. 87037d65a2b4068f203f31e754052e75 http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/microsoft/1379-aol-antitrust-suit-against-microsoft.html Microsoft Sun, 27 Jan 2002 06:00:00 +0000 Instead of competing in the marketplace -- where it's been battered lately -- AOL has decided to compete in the courts. c12a68bccda4655aca437693864bf15f
