THE ROLE OF THE CORPORATION IN<br />
AMERICA: HOW ARE THE RULES OF<br />
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND<br />
ANTITRUST EVOLVING?<br />
Antitrust authorities and a special commission established<br />
by Congress are in the process of examining the antitrust<br />
laws in order to determine whether any changes in these<br />
statutes—and in their application—are needed. At the same<br />
time, the rules of corporate governance are once again<br />
being discussed in Congress and in the investment community,<br />
with Sarbanes-Oxley, executive compensation, the<br />
relation of shareholders to directors and managers, and a<br />
host of related issues among those being considered. Irwin<br />
Stelzer, Director of <strong>Hudson</strong>’s Center for Economic Policy<br />
Studies, presented his new monograph, Coping with<br />
Market Power in the Modern Era, a discussion of the role<br />
of the corporation in America and the relationship of our<br />
antitrust laws to our attitudes toward the corporation.<br />
Judge Robert Bork, <strong>Hudson</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> Distinguished<br />
Fellow, Heidi Mandanis Schooner, Professor of Law at<br />
Catholic University, and John H. Shenefield, Partner,<br />
