现代反垄断法中最引人注目的趋势莫过于全球接受一种规范，谴责卡特尔是市场上最危险的竞争恶习。 20 世纪 90 年代初，只有美国和其他几个司法管辖区积极挑战横向定价、串通投标和市场分配。到本世纪末，赖氨酸、宽大处理和维生素改变了这一切。如今，越来越多的反垄断体系将卡特尔视为严重犯罪，许多人将卡特尔列为执法的首要重点。1随着制裁力度的加大，对卡特尔的起诉范围不断扩大，催生了大量关于共谋的优秀书籍。近年来的优秀著作包括关于卡特尔的运作、侦查和惩罚的论文集。2 罗伯特·马歇尔和莱斯利·马克思在《共谋经济学》中超越了一个令人畏惧的领域。3《共谋经济学》是迄今为止关于卡特尔和投标团伙的形成和运作的最好的单行本。如下所述，本书有五个突出特点。
No trend in modern antitrust law is more striking than the global acceptance of a norm that condemns cartels as the market’s most dangerous competitive vice. As the 1990s began, only the United States and a few other jurisdictions actively challenged horizontal price fixing, bid rigging, and market allocations. By the decade’s end, lysine, leniency, and vitamins had changed all of that. Today, more and more antitrust systems treat cartels as serious offenses, and many single out cartels as the preeminent focus of enforcement.1 Expanded prosecution of cartels with increasingly powerful sanctions has inspired an abundance of excellent books about collusion. Superb volumes from recent years include collections of essays on the operation, detection, and punishment of cartels.2 With The Economics of Collusion, Robert Marshall and Leslie Marx have surpassed a formidable field.3 Economics of Collusion is the best single volume yet written about the formation and operation of cartels and bidding rings. As described below, five features of the book stand out.
