Monopolies And Trusts is a book written by Richard Theodore Ely and originally published in 1900. The book is an analysis of the rise of monopolies and trusts in the United States during the late 19th century, and their impact on the economy and society. Ely argues that monopolies and trusts are harmful to the economy and the public interest, as they stifle competition, control prices, and exploit consumers. He also discusses the legal and political aspects of monopolies and trusts, and proposes various solutions to regulate and control them. The book is considered a classic in the field of economics and a seminal work in the history of American business and politics. It remains relevant today as debates about the role of government in regulating monopolies and promoting competition continue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
