Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Monopolies, Trusts and Kartells
1 It is not usual to regard the military and police services as in the nature of monopolies (the first imperial, the second half imperial half local). Both are onerous services; but the production of national and personal safety is an important adjunct to the production of wealth, though the tendency to over-insure in these directions is a most serious source of national impoverishment.
