Well before he founded the American Antitrust Institute, Bert Foer directed the Office of Special Projects in the Bureau of Competition of the Federal Trade Commission. Among other contributions, Bert led the preparation of a pathbreaking exploration of the history of U.S. competition law. Bert engaged some of the country's leading business historians to discuss economic, political, and social forces that shaped the adoption and implementation of U.S. antitrust laws. In convening the historians' workshop, Bert illuminated how the study of history provides vital context for a competition agency's formation of modern antitrust policy.
