As your Attorney General, I will continue to ensure that competition in the Commonwealth thrives. This pamphlet, other educational efforts and vigorous enforcement are all part of that effort. I've heard that the antitrust law are anti-business. When sellers have to compete against each other, each seller will try his or her best to attract buyers. Consumers will therefore have the opportunity to buy higher quality goods at lower prices than they are likely to get without competition.
Competition also promotes efficiency.
In order to lower prices and remain profitable, sellers must attempt to cut costs. The best argument in favor of an economic system based on competition is that it works better than anything anyone else has tried. All over the world, economic systems that have avoided competition are crumbling and are being replaced with free markets. Vigorous competition will play an important role in a strong Commonwealth economy. I've heard that the antitrust laws are anti-business.
