The Menace of the Trusts: And how to Deal With It

By Philip Snowden

Book Overview

The Menace of the Trusts, written by Philip Snowden and originally published in 1919, offers a penetrating analysis of the growing power of trusts and monopolies in the early 20th century. Snowden, a prominent British socialist politician, examines the economic and social consequences of these powerful entities, arguing that they represent a significant threat to individual liberty and economic fairness.

In this book, Snowden elucidates the mechanisms by which trusts control industries, manipulate prices, and stifle competition. He explores potential remedies, advocating for policies designed to curb the power of monopolies and promote a more equitable distribution of wealth. Snowden's work provides valuable insights into the historical context of antitrust debates and the ongoing struggle to balance economic efficiency with social justice, making it a relevant read for anyone interested in the history of economic thought and the challenges of regulating corporate power.
