   Antitrust Enforcement: The Road to Recovery   
      
   Remarks as Prepared for Delivery   
      
   I. Introduction   
      
   It is wonderful to be back at the Stigler Center. Five years ago, I   
   attended the Center's inaugural antitrust and competition   
   conference. That first conference asked an important question: "Is   
   There a Concentration Problem in America?" In retrospect, that   
   particular conference functioned as a critical inflection point in the   
   conversation regarding corporate concentration and the state of   
   antitrust enforcement - a conversation that we are still having today,   
   but against the backdrop of a dramatically different enforcement and   
   political environment.   
      
   I have vivid memories of attending a lunchtime keynote, much like this   
   one, where Judge Richard Posner quipped with a degree of seriousness   
   and a bit of humor: "antitrust is dead, isn't it?"[1] It was a   
   provocative statement, to be sure, but a fair question. Judge Posner   
   was saying the quiet part out loud. Indeed, the purpose of the   
   conference was, in many ways, to assess whether antitrust enforcement   
   still had a pulse and whether it could be nursed back to health.   
      
   It turns out that antitrust was not actually dead. If anything, the   
   patient was on the table for open heart surgery.
