cblr-14248	Finch, Andrew	Merger Law is Not — and Should not Be — In a Time Capsule: Andrew Finch	2025	24	.pdf	application/pdf	8171	369	59	The topic is also fitting because the 2023 Merger Guidelines rely heavily on Supreme Court cases from the 1960s, with the not-so-implicit message that the 1960s merger cases have not been explicitly overruled, so they are still binding precedent, and we are therefore bound to follow them. In light of subsequent Supreme Court cases, protecting small businesses for their own sake, hostility to concentration generally, and rejection of a market definition requirement have all given way to a more nuanced approach that focuses on harms flowing from a reduction in competition, recognizes that increases in concentration are not inherently problematic, and emphasizes a need for rigor in identifying through market definition where competition may be harmed.	cache/cblr-14248.pdf	txt/cblr-14248.txt
