Publisher's Synopsis
The Control of Trusts is a book written by John Bates Clark in 1901, which presents an argument in favor of curbing the power of monopolies through natural methods. The author argues that trusts, which are large corporations that control a significant portion of a particular market, have become too powerful and are hindering competition, innovation, and economic growth. Clark believes that the government should use natural methods to control trusts, such as enforcing antitrust laws, promoting competition, and encouraging the growth of small businesses. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of trusts in the United States, as well as an analysis of their impact on the economy and society. Clark's argument is based on the principles of classical economics, which emphasize the importance of competition in promoting economic growth and prosperity. The Control of Trusts is a seminal work in the field of antitrust law and remains relevant today as debates continue about the role of government in regulating monopolies and promoting competition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
