Publisher's Synopsis
""The Control of Trusts: An Argument in Favor of Curbing the Power of Monopoly by a Natural Method"" is a book written by John Bates Clark in 1901. The book presents an argument in favor of controlling the power of monopolies through natural methods. Clark, an American economist, believed that the concentration of power in the hands of a few large corporations was detrimental to the economy and society as a whole. He argued that monopolies stifled competition, limited innovation, and led to higher prices for consumers. In the book, Clark proposes a natural method of curbing the power of monopolies through the establishment of a competitive market. He suggests that the government should intervene to break up monopolies and prevent mergers that would lead to the concentration of power. The book also discusses the role of trusts in the economy and their impact on competition. Overall, ""The Control of Trusts"" is a seminal work in the history of antitrust law and provides valuable insights into the debate over the regulation of monopolies. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American business and economics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
