Over the past two to three decades economics has played an increasingly important role in the development of U.S. antitrust enforcement and policy. This essay first reviews the major facets of U.S. antitrust enforcement and next reviews the ways in which economics - starting from a low base - has grown in importance in antitrust. The essay then highlights three antitrust areas in which the influence of economics has had the greatest influence: merger analysis, vertical relationships, and predatory pricing. The essay concludes with the identification of four antitrust areas where further economics analysis could have high returns.

EPA and NHTSA, on behalf of the Department of Transportation, are issuing this joint proposal to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for model years 2017-2025. This proposal extends the National Program beyond the greenhouse gas and corporate average fuel economy standards set for model years 2012-2016.

In this article the author is ultimately looking at what Six Sigma training programs and the tool sets of Black Belts and Green Belts lack in two ways -- from the standpoint not only of what exists in formal definitions and published reports but also from my own experiences and discussions with practitioners. He categorizes those things missing from Six Sigma into three major groups: 1. technical but not statistical, 2. nontechnical, and 3. statistical. Six Sigma has been successful-wonderfully successful -- in serving as an action oriented method for improving processes to yield better financial outcomes. Only through continual improvement -- a basic principle of quality -- will it remain a viable and lasting methodology.

This essay uses primary source publications from Nazi Germany to explore how anti-Semitism developed and intensified into a genocidal logic. Understanding how this intensification could occur long before the networks of concentration camps or World War II arose could reveal how language paves a path to genocide. Using the concepts of telos and logology garnered from Kenneth Burke enables the rhetorical logic of anti-Semitism to unfold and become subject to disruption.
