IBM, Microsoft and Big Tech Antitrust Folly

The continuing trial of Google, along with lawsuits against Amazon and Meta, have brought antitrust back into the public eye. These suits recall the 1969 case against IBM and the 1998 case against Microsoft, the great antitrust battles of the latter half of the 20th century.Supporters of aggressive antitrust enforcement think that only antitrust suits prevented IBM from commandeering the personal-computer market and Microsoft from taking over the internet.

Articulated in Robert Bork’s 1978 book, “The Antitrust Paradox,” the standard replaced classical antitrust analysis, which focused primarily on promoting competition. Courts and regulators are supposed to take into account a variety of consumer benefits, including lower prices, increased innovation and a better product quality.
