Predatory Pricing
Should Predatory Pricing be Legal?
Predatory pricing may be deemed illegal under U.S. antitrust laws. But shouldn’t be. It has been argued that predatory pricing should be an illegal strategy. Predatory pricing, however, results in lower prices for consumers. Competitors may be harmed, but the consumer benefits.
