Chicago antitrust doctrine was refined and broadened by Bork, Stigler, and Posner

Evidence

Director and Levi’s manifesto was not intended to be a comprehensive statement of the Chicago neoliberal position on antitrust law. Like the canon of the Antitrust Project, it only covered a portion of United States’ antitrust law. Moreover, in the 1960s and 1970s, Ward Bowman, Robert Bork, John McGee (all Antitrust Project members), George Stigler, and Richard Posner made important contributions to refine and explicate the Chicago neoliberal position on antitrust law, broadening their analysis far beyond the scope of the initial Antitrust Project. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 1134
