This document provides an overview of Chapter 14 from a microeconomics textbook. The chapter discusses monopoly and antitrust policy. It begins with definitions of monopoly and explores the four main reasons monopolies can arise: from government entry barriers, control of a key resource, network externalities, or large economies of scale. The chapter then examines how a monopoly chooses price and output by equating marginal revenue to marginal cost. It uses graphs to illustrate how a monopoly reduces economic efficiency through deadweight loss compared to perfect competition. The chapter concludes by covering government antitrust laws and enforcement policies aimed at promoting competition.

Part A: Is your college bookstore a monopoly?
Is there only one store on your college campus allowed to sell textbooks? Are there economic
costs to this monopoly power? Are there economic benefits to this monopoly power? Assess the
market for textbooks on your campus using the following key concepts from Chapter 10.
Costs or benefits of monopoly
Monopoly price
Restricted output
Monopoly profits
Barriers to entry
Research and development
Economies of scale
Natural monopoly
Entrepreneurial incentives
Contestable markets
From the list above, which item is the strongest argument against your school allowing
monopoly power in the textbook market? Why?

monopoly power in the textbook market? Why?
Part B: Media Player: Monopoly?
One way to limit competition is to only sell a product bundled with another product—one in
which you have a monopoly. The text mentions Microsoft’s bundling of its browser, Internet
Explorer, with the Windows operating system. Bundling meant that people could get Internet
Explorer without paying any extra. This made it impossible for Netscape to sell its competing
browser.
A related issue is Microsoft’s bundling of Media Player, a piece of software that plays audio and
video on the World Wide Web. Purchasers of Windows cannot buy Windows without Media
player, something that makes it hard for companies selling competing products (like RealPlayer
and QuickTime). The European Commission, which enforces pro-competition rules in the
European Union, is hearing an antitrust case against Microsoft Europe.
Use the accompanying sources, and any others you know of, to weigh the advantages to
consumers of bundling RealPlayer against the disadvantages. Suppose the sole issue is the
benefits to consumers. In that case, how should the European Commission rule? Should
Microsoft be required to offer a version of Windows without MediaPlayer, at a lower price?
Provide as much support as you can for your answer.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
