Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contracts and Combinations, in Restraint of Trade
In limiting the freedom of individuals in the conduct of busi ness, or the disposal of their labor or commodities, courts ought not, and customarily do not promulgate prohibitions based on any doubtful or speculative balance of what may be, from all points of view and upon elaborate investigations of fact, most expedient and desirable. They prohibit only when a distinctive act is presented which is certainly inimical to the public interest, or which may, on a balancing of the Opposing considerations, be so regarded. Where there is doubt or mere speculation as to results the tendency is to permit freedom of economic action. Yet in determining whether the distinctive act is certainly inimical to the public interest the courts must deal with economic facts and principles - especially those which are regarded as fundamental and not subject to serious controversy.
