Reviews

'In this compelling study of international aluminium cartels, Dr Bertilorenzi deploys his fine grained analysis of a wide coverage of the key sources to explore the political economy of cartelization. The International Aluminium Cartel makes a significant contribution to discussions of varieties of capitalism. It will be read with equal profit by academics and students in humanities and social science faculties, as well as business and management schools alike. Policymakers and regulators will also profit from it.' - Andrew Perchard, Associate Professor, University of Strathclyde, UK 'Scholars have for long regarded the aluminium industry as the prime evidence of cartelization in the 20th century. Bertilorenzi offers a new insight and new information about the inducement, the modus operandi and the disintegration of the various cartels with a well-structured and accessible style. I strongly recommend it.' - Hans Otto Froland, Professor, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway
