Sommario/riassunto

Boris Slutsky (1919-1986) is a major original figure of Russian poetry of the second half of the twentieth century, whose oeuvre has remained unexplored and unstudied. The first scholarly study of the poet, Marat Grinberg's book substantially fills this critical lacuna in the current comprehension of Russian and Soviet literatures. Grinberg argues that Slutsky's body of work amounts to a Holy Writ of his times, which daringly fuses biblical prooftexts and stylistics with the language of late Russian Modernism and Soviet newspeak. The book is directed toward readers of Russian poetry and pan-Jewish poetic traditions, scholars of Soviet culture and history and the burgeoning field of Russian Jewish



studies. Finally, it contributes to the general field of poetics and Modernism.

Nota di contenuto

Conservative economic analysis and its effects -- Is efficiency all that counts? -- Chicago School and dominant firm behavior -- Can vertical arrangements injure consumer welfare? -- Has the free rider explanation for vertical arrangements been unrealistically expanded? -- Reinvigorating merger enforcement that has declined as a result of conservative economic analysis.

Sommario/riassunto

The essays collected in this book concern the rise and recent fall of American antitrust. Of the 15 essays, almost all express a deep concern that conservative economic analysis is leading judges and enforcement officials toward an approach that will ultimately harm consumer welfare.
