antitrust laws
Federal and state statutes designed to promote competition among businesses. Antitrust laws in the United States originated from the laissez-faire excesses that took place in the early 1900s. Effectiveness of antitrust laws is heavily dependent upon enforcement by the powers in chargeprimarily the U.S. Justice Department. Thus, the success of antitrust laws has varied.
