Moglen, Eben | November 30, 1998 issue

add to cart   close window

The opening of the Microsoft antitrust trial in Washington, D.C., in October was very good news for democrats of all parties, in a year when politics has rarely attained dignity, let alone importance. There will be plenty to say later, when the dust has settled a bit, about United States v. Microsoft's effect on our daily lives. The connection between antitrust and the defense of democracy is intimate and long-standing, but largely ignored. Not least among the institutions inextricably connected to the American Century of technology is antitrust law.
