The article closes with the following passage: The appropriate goal of antitrust policy should remain precisely what economic theory and evidence confirm it can accomplish—the maintenance of competitive forces to the benefit of consumers. Complete the following passage to describe the logic of this argument: The digital transformation of the economy over the last few decades led to the rise of large tech firms that generally charged low/high consumer prices. The large size of these firms sparked a new wave of antitrust activism, whose proponents have implicated the rapid growth of these firms in various social ills, including rapidly rising consumer prices/rising income inequality/increased crime. While the growth of these firms may have exacerbated these social problems to some degree, antitrust action against them may benefit consumers by undermining these firms' ability to earn profits/manipulate consumers into paying higher prices/offer products consumers desire at a lower price. It is therefore best, the authors conclude, that antitrust policy stick to its traditional focus on consumer welfare in terms of price and product availability/political influence amassed by large firms/stemming the growth of income inequality, while leaving broader social problems to policy tools that target those problems more directly.
