53:56 Robinson Patman Act Customer Rating: Summary: Not too shabby... Comment: So, I find that listening to CDs before an exam is really helpful. These CDs were very helpful before my antitrust exam. Especially when it comes to monopolization, the author is very detailed. His analysis of the Microsoft case was very helpful, because it essentially provides a general overview of monopolization under section 2. His discussion of horizontal restraints is rather murky, but so is the law under section 1. I'm not sure I can hold it against the author, because the courts are really random when it comes to applying the per se rule, the RoR, and the QL rule. It's a big mess, but he goes through the cases very carefully. Essentially, these CDs noted every case that my antitrust class discussed and that was a nice warm blanket before the exam.
This set of CDs includes a 6 hour lecture on Antitrust law and a 11 page handout.
