Abstract. Antitrust law naturally brings about a clash of different views on the role of the state in the economy. On one side are liberals who oppose any regulation of competition, and on the other are those who strongly support government intervention. Both sides have their supporters, but neither has provided solid scientific evidence to fully back up their arguments. Recently, EU competition policy has started to reflect broader social goals as well. However, many of these goals are not the main purpose of antitrust rules—they are more like positive side effects. The main focus should remain on maintaining a healthy competitive environment. Antitrust rules shouldn’t be used as a political tool to achieve other goals that are better handled through direct regulation. Of course, every area of law has to evolve as society changes. But even so, it should keep its core purpose and not turn into a system that tries to manage every small issue in detail.

Key words: antitrust; neo-brandeisianism; sustainability; new competition tools; gender fallacy
