Fair Fight in the Marketplace – Trailer
Available from: http://www.videoproject.com
Fair Fight in the Marketplace provides an engaging look at our antitrust laws that give protection to both American consumers and businesses. The half-hour program also considers a more fundamental question: can a set of regulations created by the Sherman Act at the end of the 19th century be relevant in todays era of digital technology and high-speed communications?
Hosted by NPR and Fox News commentator Mara Liasson, the program provides a short, colorful history of the antitrust laws in America and features three recent case studies. Distinguished authorities in law and economics offer context and commentary, while noted business journalists provide special insights and bring a seemingly impenetrable subject into meaningful focus. Victims from the corporate schemes relate the impact on their lives and give viewers a sense of how antitrust laws affect everyday matters like product pricing, selection, and quality.
With the challenges we face in todays global economy, there is considerable value in helping students understand the modern landscape of antitrust legislation and corporate practices. The educational edition of this program features considerable web content that provides the user with a wealth of action opportunity and supplemental information. Optimized for educational use, this DVD version of Fair Fight in the Marketplace has been paired with comprehensive webresources for the classroom, empowering teachers to present this topic in a thorough and organized manner, while also giving students an easy-to-use, one-stop resource online for reading assignments or test preparation.

Fair Fight in the Marketplace provides an engaging look at our antitrust laws that give protection to both American consumers and businesses. The half-hour program also considers a more fundamental question: can a set of regulations created by the Sherman Act at the end of the 19th century be relevant in todays era of digital technology and high-speed communications?
Hosted by NPR and Fox News commentator Mara Liasson, the program provides a short, colorful history of the antitrust laws in America and features three recent case studies—
* Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) leading a worldwide price-fixing conspiracy
(the focus of the movie “The Informant”, starring Matt Damon — see below)
* Mylan Pharmaceuticals cutting off supplies to competitors to inflate prices
* Microsofts bullying of Netscape to capture the internet browser market
Distinguished authorities in law and economics offer context and commentary, while noted business journalists provide special insights and bring a seemingly impenetrable subject into meaningful focus.

Has anyone heard about the government offering our refunds by way of products?
I forget what they’re calling it but I’ve heard the "free money" (the 600-1200 bucks per family) that the Gov is trying to pump back into the economy, for some people, will come in the form of products!
I heard on NPR that "they" are afraid that people will use the money to pay off debt instead of spending it on products that will boost the economy. Therefore they are sending some families products instead of cash. One example was a woman in AZ who got sent an air conditioner that was roughly the value of the refund they were supposed to recieve.
Has anyone else heard this??
My tax guy says its probably a hoax but come on! It was a report on Marketplace on National Public Radio! Thats a responsible news source…
I don’t know what they’re so afraid of…..alot of people I know who are in tremendous debt can’t seem to stop buying new things anyway….
HAHA now that you mention it I think I do remember hearing the april fools thing but I’m in college so anything that I don’t need for a test or is vital to my life just falls right out of my head lol
It was an April fools joke, so no the irs is not going to buy something for you. After the report they said to check your calendar…
I actually believed them until they said the latter part.

Financial Crisis: Is America Over-Reacting or Under-Reacting? ?
I hear that this is the worst state of the marketplace since October 1929. It’s almost October 2008. That’s close to 90 years of financial ups and downs. Is this truly the worst marketplace since the Great Depression?
I thought we just recently reached how bad it was after 9/11.
And, finally, should we expect this to get better soon? Will I ever see the market as good as it was in October 2000?
I’m 21 with no major debt and no major savings so I have a little while before I need to be too concerned but it’s all NPR talks about which has me a little antsy.
The media always blows things out of proportion. The government was really blowing it out of proportion last week, trying to scare us into thinking the first bailout plan was a good deal. I don’t think it is so bad that we have to rush into anything stupid. We need to take the time to get the deal right before we call it final. The crisis will still be here tomorrow.
