The editorial content will cover a wide range of viewpoints and seek to decipher the complexities of issues regarding dynamic competition, ranging from Schumpeterian skepticism of antitrust intervention in dynamic markets to a more interventionist approach invoking dynamic competition to protect the opportunity for nascent and potential players to compete.
