  • Amazon's Antitrust Paradox
    LINA M. KHAN Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox abstract. Amazon is the titan of twenty-first century commerce. In addition to being a re- tailer, it is now a marketing platform, a delivery and logistics network, a payment service, a credit lender, an auction house, a major book publisher, a producer of television and films, a fashion designer, a hardware manufacturer, and a leading host of cloud server space. Although Amazon has clocked staggering growth, it generates meager profits, choosing to price below-cost and ex- pand widely instead. Through this strategy, the company has positioned itself at the center of e- commerce and now serves as essential infrastructure for a host of other businesses that depend upon it. Elements of the firm’s structure and conduct pose anticompetitive concerns—yet it has escaped antitrust scrutiny. This Note argues that the current framework in antitrust—specifically its pegging competi- tion to “consumer welfare,” defined as short-term price effects—is unequipped to capture the ar- chitecture of market power in the modern economy. We cannot cognize the potential harms to competition posed by Amazon’s dominance if we measure competition primarily through price and output. Specifically, current doctrine underappreciates the risk of predatory pricing and how integration across distinct business lines may prove anticompetitive. These concerns are height- ened in the context of online platforms for two reasons. First, the economics of platform markets create incentives for a company to pursue growth over profits, a strategy that investors have re- warded. Under these conditions, predatory pricing becomes highly rational—even as existing doctrine treats it as irrational and therefore implausible.

  • What Does Lina Khan's Appointment As FTC Chair Mean for Your Business?
    Litigation & Arbitration Group Client Alert What Does Lina Khan’s Appointment as FTC Chair Mean for Your Business? June 25, 2021 Contact Fiona Schaeffer Andrew Wellin Eric Hyla Lena K. Bruce Partner Special Counsel Associate Associate +1 212.530.5243 +1 212.530.5432 +1 212.530.5243 +1 212.530.5028 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] On June 15, 2021, within hours of her Senate confirmation as a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Commissioner, 32-year-old Lina Khan was appointed by President Biden to serve as the youngest FTC Chair in history. Khan has established herself as a progressive antitrust activist and a leader of the “New Brandeis Movement”1 that advocates for a revival of more aggressive U.S. antitrust policies and enforcement from the earlier part of the 20th century. Khan’s most widely-recognized and influential work, “Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox,” published in the Yale Law Journal in 2017 (while she was a Yale law student), argues that the current US antitrust paradigm (heavily influenced by the Chicago School) is too narrowly focused on consumer welfare and “is unequipped to capture the architecture of market power in the modern economy.”2 Because the consumer welfare standard focuses on short-term price and output effects, it is ill-equipped to address the purported harms to competition that big tech platforms raise. In her article, Khan maintains that platform markets, such as Amazon, have evaded antitrust liability because they focus on long-term growth over short-term profits – in short, they can make predatory, below-cost pricing a rational and profitable strategy, and can control the infrastructure on which their rivals depend without raising prices or reducing output in the short-term.

  • Topic 11: the Agency’S Investigation, Enforcement and Remedial Processes
    Comments of TechFreedom Hearings on Competition & Consumer Protection in the 21st Century Topic 11: The agency’s investigation, enforcement and remedial processes Berin Szóka,1 Graham Owens2 & James E. Dunstan3 Overview TechFreedom is a non-partisan think tank dedicated to promoting the progress of technol- ogy that improves the human condition. To this end, we seek to advance public policy that makes experimentation, entrepreneurship, and investment possible, and thus unleashes the ultimate resource: human ingenuity. Wherever possible, we seek to empower users to make their own choices online and elsewhere. 1 Berin Szóka is President of TechFreedom, a nonprofit, nonpartisan technology policy think tank. J.D.

Georgetown University Law Center; B.A. Claremont McKenna College. He can be reached at [email protected]. 1 Since its launch in 2011, TechFreedom has spoken often on the FTC’s regulation and en- forcement of antitrust, unfairness, and consumer protection laws. We welcome the oppor- tunity to once again interact with FTC staff as it works through these issues in a changing world where technological innovation has brought huge benefits to consumers, but has also raised novel questions related to privacy, data security, and unfair business practices. On June 20, 2018, the FTC announced that the agency will hold a series of public hearings on whether broad-based changes in the economy, evolving business practices, new tech- nologies, or international developments might require adjustments to competition and consumer protection enforcement law, enforcement priorities, and policy.4 In preparation for those hearings, the FTC seeks public comment on eleven (11) issues, through the filing of separate comments on each topic.

  • The End of Antitrust History Revisited
    BOOK REVIEW THE END OF ANTITRUST HISTORY REVISITED THE CURSE OF BIGNESS: ANTITRUST IN THE NEW GILDED AGE. By Tim Wu. New York, N.Y.: Columbia Global Reports. 2018. Pp. 154. $14.99. Reviewed by Lina M. Khan∗ INTRODUCTION In April 2007 the Antitrust Modernization Commission reported to Congress that “the state of the U.S. antitrust laws” was “sound.”1 Created by lawmakers to examine whether antitrust laws should be re- vised, the bipartisan Commission concluded that existing statutes were sufficiently flexible to address emerging issues, and that courts, antitrust agencies, and practitioners were now in proper agreement that “con- sumer welfare” was the “unifying goal of antitrust law.”2 A decade later, the American Bar Association’s Antitrust Section delivered a similar as- sessment, remarking that “the Nation’s system of competition enforce- ment has been in good hands.”3 These reports represented a high-water mark of agreement within the antitrust community that, despite ongoing debates about specific doctrinal tests or particular standards of proof, antitrust law was, altogether, on the right course. The fact that antitrust had shed its public appeal in favor of an expert-driven enterprise — becoming “less democratic and more technocratic”4 — was generally seen as further evidence of its success.5 ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ∗ Academic Fellow, Columbia Law School; Counsel, U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law.

THE FTC'S CONSUMER PROTECTION PROGRAM DURING THE MILLER YEARS: LESSONS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY STRUCTURE AND OPERATION Mark E. Budnitz* The conventional wisdom is that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under President Carter's Chairman, Michael Pertschuk, turned the FTC into a renegade agency which engaged in runaway consumer protection, hamstringing business with excessive regulation to such an extent it be- came known as the "national nanny." 1 According to this popular view, Congress ultimately was compelled to rein in the agency to force it to return to the role Congress intended for it. The conventional wisdom portrays the FTC under Pertschuk's successor, President Reagan's ap- pointee James Miller, in very different yet equally immoderate terms. Miller supposedly went to the opposite extreme, acting as the puppet of the industry he was supposed to regulate by virtually halting the agency's consumer protection activities.2 This Article demonstrates that the reality was far more interesting, complex, and problematic than these generalities suggest.

LANDE* The current paradigms of antitrust law-price and efficiency-do not work well enough. True, they were an immense improvement over their predecessors, and they have served the field competently for a genera­ tion, producing reasonably accurate results in most circumstances. Accu­ mulated experience has also revealed their shortcomings, however. The price and efficiency paradigms are hard to fully understand and are not particularly transparent in their application. Moreover, in a disturbingly large number of circumstances they are unable to handle the important issue of nonprice competition. In this article we suggest replacing the older paradigms with the somewhat broader approach of "consumer choice." 1 The choice framework has several advantages.
