Trusts And Competition (1915)

By John Franklin Crowell

Book Overview

Trusts and Competition is a book written by John Franklin Crowell and published in 1915. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the trust problem in the United States during the early 20th century. The author explores the causes and effects of the formation of trusts and monopolies, and their impact on competition, consumer welfare, and the economy as a whole.Crowell argues that the trust problem is a result of the failure of the existing legal and regulatory framework to control the growth of monopolies. He suggests that the solution to the problem lies in the adoption of a more effective regulatory regime that promotes competition and protects consumers.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the trust problem and its historical context. The second part analyzes the economic, legal, and political factors that contribute to the formation of trusts, and the consequences of their existence for competition and consumer welfare. The third part presents a series of policy recommendations aimed at addressing the trust problem and promoting competition.Overall, Trusts and Competition is a seminal work on the trust problem in the United States. It provides a detailed analysis of the causes and consequences of the formation of trusts and monopolies, and offers a set of policy recommendations that remain relevant today. The book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of antitrust regulation and the role of competition in the economy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
