Antitrust, Capture, Federalism and the North Carolina Dental Case–  Herbert J. Hovenkamp (University of Iowa)

Abstract: This brief essay analyzes the Supreme Court’s recent decision in the North Carolina Dental case, assessing its implications for federalism. The decision promises to re-open old divisions that had once made the antitrust “state action” doctrine a controversial lightning rod for debate about state economic sovereignty.
