description: The genesis of this book was a conference that took place at the University of Chicago in October 1969 on the legal and economic aspects of conglomerate mergers. Harold D Semsetz had asked me to talk on "The Public Interest in Conglomerate Mergers". The central theme of my remarks was that while it was possible to define the question narrowly as merely the effect on economic efficiency, there was nothing inherently compelling in such a narrow definition.
