An essential guide to the history of the fight against monopoly in the United States, this remarkable book reveals that from the Boston Tea Party to today, the battle against monopoly has been a battle for freedom. * Luigi Zingales, Robert C. McCormack Distinguished Service Professor of Entrepreneurship and Finance, University of Chicago Booth School of Business * Antimonopoly and American Democracy is a scholarly, eminently readable, and wide-ranging treatment of Americans' understanding of the monopoly problem from the late-eighteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Its authors treat various markets and technologies, and from disciplines that are not limited to economics. In particular, this book addresses the heavy presence of antimonopoly rhetoric in the development of corporate law, antitrust, the law of regulated industries, and related concerns about federalism and international relations. An outstanding list of contributors explores these topics from every angle, emphasizing the extent to which monopoly was perceived as a threat to equality, economic participation and opportunity, and democracy itself. * Herbert Hovenkamp, James G. Dinan University Professor, University of Pennsylvania *
