Competition Policy - Mega Publishing Merger is Blocked
1st November 2022
Mergers and takeovers are rarely blocked, so this is a good example to add to your Year 13 microeconomics notes on monopoly and competition in markets.

It seems as though the Biden Presidency has sought to promote more pro-active competition policy.
