Sandra wants to purchase a Nitro scooter from the only Nitro dealer in town, but the dealer will not sell her the scooter unles
s she also purchases an extended warranty for $1,000. Sandra does not want to purchase the extended warranty from the dealer because she knows she can purchase the exact same warranty from her insurance company for $500. In this instance, the Nitro dealer appears to be violating one of the provisions of A. the Clayton Act.B. the Robinson-Patman Act.C. the Federal Trade Commission Act.D. the Sherman Act.
The source of today's antitrust laws is the Sherman Act, the American Antitrust Law of July 2, 1890, supplemented later by the Clayton Act of 1914, and the Law that created the Federal Trade Commission the same year, the american antitrust agency.
Some authors claim that the Sherman Act was designed to protect the market itself, which would be self-destructing due to excessive economic freedom. It is even argued that the American antitrust law represented a supposed salvation from liberalism, which, without regulation, would give rise to monopolistic concentrations that distorted the natural rules of competition.
Artists, architects, and writers used realistic techniques. Their work reflected the Renaissance ideals of humanism, an appreciation of the classics, and curiosity.
