Evaluate an article
I'm interested in the intersection of economics and law, which is why I find antitrust law so fascinating. The FTC is one of 2 regulators in charge of enforcing antitrust laws in the USA, so I have decided to examine the "Federal Trade Commission" article. The "Federal Trade Commission" article is a good start but it could definitely be more depthful, insightful, and informative. It offers a solid introductory section explaining why the agency was created and to what purpose it serves. The article is also neutral and not biased whatsoever. The article list a few healthcare and technology cases that the FTC has been involved in but does not list cases in other industries. The article doesn't even mention the Microsoft antitrust case which played a big role in shaping modern antitrust law. I would also like to know how the FTC interacts with the Antitrust Department at the DOJ, its counterpart in enforcing antitrust policies. Furthermore, it would be helpful to know the history of the FTC and how its views have perhaps evolved over time. There are also mostly non-scholarly articles that are cited. This should be changed. The "talk" section also raised the interesting point to have the FTC's views on modern tech behemoths such as Facebook and Amazon on the page.
