Things one middle-aged economist finds interesting. March 10, 2003. Donald Luskin sharply questions. The FTC's effort to block a merger in the "market" for superpremium ice cream. "What if consumer choice in 'The Market for Superpremium Ice Cream' was narrowed to a single brand and prices became astronomical?
