Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a profound analysis of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. The author, a statistician and economist, argues that the act is a legislative misadventure that has had unintended and negative consequences on the economy. The author examines the history and judicial interpretation of the act, highlighting its flaws and the resulting problems it has caused, such as the consolidation of railroads. The book also discusses the broader political and economic context of the act, including the rise of bureaucratic government and the decline of common law principles. The author concludes that the act, intended to prevent monopolies, has instead stifled competition and led to a decrease in economic activity, job losses, and a decline in the overall health of the economy. This book offers a valuable critique of antitrust law and its implications for economic regulation.
