2.09 - Chicago Neoliberalism Makes Its Legal Mark
Auteur(s) : ROB VAN HORN
The early development of neoliberalism for Chicago law and economics has been largely overlooked. The standard history of the origins of Chicago law and economics papers over a significant initiative at Chicago carried out primarily by Aaron Director, the reconstitution of the classical liberal doctrine and hence the birth of neoliberalism at Chicago. I will describe the classical liberal position at Chicago prior to 1946 with regard to monopoly and corporations, then demonstrate the reformulation of this position by Director during the Free Market Study Project (1946-1952) and thus pinpoint neoliberal developments, and then show how the more general neoliberal developments of the Free Market Study spawned very specific neoliberal developments during the Chicago Antitrust Project (1953-1958). These two Chicago law school based projects, I will argue, are crucial for the origins of Chicago law and economics, especially in the field of antitrust law. Ultimately, the result of these two projects is one more area (antitrust law) where the neoliberals hashed out their position over the 1950s. To illustrate the significance of these developments for United States antitrust law, I will provide some basic statistics based on US Supreme Court cases.
