In US Antitrust War, Bet on Brandeis Not Bork
==========

The article discusses the current antitrust war in the US and the clash between two legal giants, Louis Brandeis and Robert Bork. The Department of Justice has added Apple Inc. to the list of tech giants under scrutiny, joining Alphabet Inc. The European Union is also investigating Apple, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms. The debate revolves around the definition of monopoly in an information-based economy. Louis Brandeis, known as 'the people's lawyer,' had a significant influence on Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Robert Bork, a conservative Republican, was denied a seat on the Supreme Court in 1987. The clash between Brandeis and Bork represents a clash of legal minds from the 20th century.
