Reviews

If one mark of a good book, in this case an edited collection, is how often it, or the essays in it, have been cited since publication, then this is a very good book indeed. In the course of examining aspects of the United Kingdom's discredited Cartel Offence over the last year I have consistently encountered references to work contained here, and have myself relied on a number of contributions.

The editors have taken care with the structure and have selected an exceptionally good team of contributors...It makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the subject, and is highly recommended.
*Global Competition Litigation Review, Issue 5*

...a subtle but devastating critique of the criminalization of cartels.
*Law and Social Inquiry*

[A]n exceptionally good team of contributors. It is an unusual collection in that the sum of the whole is greater than that of the parts. It makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the subject, and is highly recommended.
*European Competition Law Review, 2012, 33(5)*

...cover to cover, this is the best contemporary book on cartels.
