'Mueller is, of course, a prominent public choice scholar, indeed he is a past president of the Public Choice Society. He is also, however, an expert on antitrust law and its economic implications. Both of these areas are covered in the book and in both areas he makes a significant contribution. Some of these articles have been published before, but sometimes in major journals and sometimes in highly specialized journals. In my case, I had read the articles in the main journals before but they well repaid rereading. The articles published in the specialized journals were new to me as were of course the articles which had never been published before. Altogether, it is a major contribution to both public choice and antitrust economics. Living as he does in Europe but with a strong American background, professor Mueller is particularly interested in the current expansion of the Common Market. His ability to apply both the economics of antitrust and the economics of public choice to this area, means that his contribution is significant. I can honestly recommend the book to not only people in those two fields, but to the general scholar who is interested in developments in Europe in general. I learned a good deal from reading it and I'm sure that other readers will do the same.'
