Abstract
Competition law and its institutions exist within national economic and social contexts. “Enforcing Competition Rules in South Africa” is a fascinating, clear, and insightful account of the establishment and first decade of one of the most successful competition law institutions to have mushroomed over the past 15 years, promoting a deeper understanding of the development of foundational economic law within a specific national, social and economic context. The investigations of the Competition Commission and the hearings of the Competition Tribunal have illuminated many of the dark corners of South African business, whose revelations included many clandestine conspiracies to fix prices or rig bids.
