Antitrust legislation aims at increasing social welfare and competition.

Another View: Anti-trust legislation has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with social programs. They are laws to prevent large companies, or combinations of companies, from banding together to control the flow of goods or services and thereby control prices of a particular product or products to the detriment of the consuming public.
