Abstract

During his first presidential term, faced with antitrust law reform, Woodrow Wilson had to deal with the reconstitution of conflicting values. On the one hand, the importance of efficiency, guaranteed by the role of experts capable of effectively managing public administration, on the other hand, the importance of public and democratic participation, and therefore respect for traditional democratic values. Wilson will face a theoretical impasse in defining concepts such as competition and fairness when developing antitrust laws and will have to put his theory of administration to the test. He will opt for a pragmatic approach, based on managerial ideas and integrating the figure of the manager, expert in know-how.
