Download or read book The New Deal and the Problem of Monopoly written by Ellis W. Hawley and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The massive depression of the 1930's detonated the crisis between harsh reality and the vision of material abundance and economic security created by the American industrial order. Amid widespread poverty there was increasing concentration of economic power and loss of individual initiative. Professor Hawley traces the pattern of this conflict. He analyzes the National Recovery Administration, the sources and nature of the antitrust ideology, the rise of Keynesianism, the confusion within the Roosevelt Administration during the recession of 1937-38, and the government career of Thurman Arnold. Attention is given to the administrators of the New Deal and to the beliefs, pressures, and symbols that affected their policy decisions. How and why these ideas and pressures produced policies that were economically inconsistent yet politically workable is also explained. Originally published in 1966.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1930 and reissued in 1968, treats a group of problems arising when competition is either precluded or limited. It examines absolute and limited monopoly; cases in which a few enterprises compete; cases in which two or three enterprises or organisations face one another as buyer and seller. The underlying general problem is the price in markets where there is only a limited number of enterprises.
Download or read book The Myth of Capitalism written by Jonathan Tepper and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Myth of Capitalism tells the story of how America has gone from an open, competitive marketplace to an economy where a few very powerful companies dominate key industries that affect our daily lives. Digital monopolies like Google, Facebook and Amazon act as gatekeepers to the digital world. Amazon is capturing almost all online shopping dollars. We have the illusion of choice, but for most critical decisions, we have only one or two companies, when it comes to high speed Internet, health insurance, medical care, mortgage title insurance, social networks, Internet searches, or even consumer goods like toothpaste. Every day, the average American transfers a little of their pay check to monopolists and oligopolists. The solution is vigorous anti-trust enforcement to return America to a period where competition created higher economic growth, more jobs, higher wages and a level playing field for all. The Myth of Capitalism is the story of industrial concentration, but it matters to everyone, because the stakes could not be higher. It tackles the big questions of: why is the US becoming a more unequal society, why is economic growth anemic despite trillions of dollars of federal debt and money printing, why the number of start-ups has declined, and why are workers losing out.

Download or read book In Defense of Monopoly written by Richard B. McKenzie and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Defense of Monopoly offers an unconventional but empirically grounded argument in favor of market monopolies. Authors McKenzie and Lee claim that conventional, static models exaggerate the harm done by real-world monopolies, and they show why some degree of monopoly presence is necessary to maximize the improvement of human welfare over time. Inspired by Joseph Schumpeter's suggestion that market imperfections can drive an economy's long-term progress, In Defense of Monopoly defies conventional assumptions to show readers why an economic system's failure to efficiently allocate its resources is actually a necessary precondition for maximizing the system's long-term performance: the perfectly fluid, competitive economy idealized by most economists is decidedly inferior to one characterized by market entry and exit restrictions or costs. An economy is not a board game in which players compete for a limited number of properties, nor is it much like the kind of blackboard games that economists use to develop their monopoly models. As McKenzie and Lee demonstrate, the creation of goods and services in the real world requires not only competition but the prospect of gains beyond a normal competitive rate of return.

Book excerpt: From the airlines we fly to the food we eat, how a tiny group of corporations have come to dominate every aspect of our lives—by one of our most intrepid and accomplished journalists "If you're looking for a book . . . that will get your heart pumping and your blood boiling and that will remind you why we're in these fights—add this one to your list." —Senator Elizabeth Warren on David Dayen's Chain of Title Over the last forty years our choices have narrowed, our opportunities have shrunk, and our lives have become governed by a handful of very large and very powerful corporations. Today, practically everything we buy, everywhere we shop, and every service we secure comes from a heavily concentrated market. This is a world where four major banks control most of our money, four airlines shuttle most of us around the country, and four major cell phone providers connect most of our communications. If you are sick you can go to one of three main pharmacies to fill your prescription, and if you end up in a hospital almost every accessory to heal you comes from one of a handful of large medical suppliers. Dayen, the editor of the American Prospect and author of the acclaimed Chain of Title, provides a riveting account of what it means to live in this new age of monopoly and how we might resist this corporate hegemony. Through vignettes and vivid case studies Dayen shows how these monopolies have transformed us, inverted us, and truly changed our lives, at the same time providing readers with the raw material to make monopoly a consequential issue in American life and revive a long-dormant antitrust movement.

Download or read book Economic Concentration written by John Malcolm Blair and published by New York : Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. This book was released on 1972 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a veteran of both the Bureau of Economics of the Federal Trade Commission and the Senate Subcommittee on Antitrust and Monopoly during the 1960s, author Blair is an advocate. His advocacy of his position is clear, concise, and understandable: he favors strong antitrust laws and the stricter application of those laws to existing corporate structures, and this is his argument. First, it defines and discusses four types of economic concentration-market, vertical, conglomerate, and aggregate. Second, high concentration (as opposed to diffusion of control) is shown to be neither the necessary nor the "natural" state of the economy because "centrifugal" forces (eventual diseconomies of scale, growth, and technological change) constantly are chipping away at dominance and ossification. Third, it argues that the primary causes of high and rising concentration of various kinds are neither natural nor technological imperatives (economies of scale, technological change): rather, they are artificial and unnecessary "centripetal" factors, the most important being mergers, acquisitions, TV advertising, predation, and anticompetitive government policies of various kinds. The result, therefore, is a work rich in empirical information and skillful in interpreting and verifying new data and statistical approaches; moreover, it integrates a substantial quantity of data never attempted in this area in the past. In this sense it is an excellent contribution. No topic considered has been shortchanged, the treatment is competent. But the effort to cover the entire waterfront leaves several urgent questions: What can be done and where? How may we attempt new approaches to our subject? How may we first better convince the general public and Congress that, indeed, a strong antitrust policy is desirable?
