Abstract: Our trust in competition policy is based on faith in markets.
When markets are oligopolies, already classical economists’ trust in
competition busted: Oligopolies carry the seeds of collusion. To develop,
collusion needs trust between firms. But new leniency programmes are
designed to bust that trust. I discuss when trust busters are likely to succeed
and when trust prevails.
Keywords: Competition policy; Oligopolies; Collusion; Trust; Leniency programmes
