Book Review: Eric A. Posner, How Antitrust Failed Workers

I reviewed Eric Posner’s book for the Japanese Yearbook of International Economic Law.

Commentary · Japanese Yearbook of International Economic Law pp.247–251

I wrote a review of Eric Posner’s book for the Japanese Yearbook of International Economic Law.

This, too, is a theme I have studied since around 2019; in the end I produced only a draft and a table of contents and have not published a single article on it to this day. The main line of the book is the application of the Sherman Act to employers’ monopsony in labor markets. I have been thinking this problem is relevant in Japan too, but I have not found time to examine it properly. Meanwhile, study groups have been convened, a freelance act has been enacted, and the social situation has changed a great deal.
