History of the Sherman Law

The Folklore of Capitalism

In the days of Adam Smith, it was possible to measure the wealth of nations in terms of mineral resources, possession of fertile lands, and control of strategic geographical areas. Today we have a new index of wealth and security of nations: technology and applied science. So begins Wendell Berge's discourse on cartels. With the recent Microsoft anti-trust trials, you might think he was talking about current events, but Berge wrote this precis of anti-trust law in 1944. It is amazing how relevant his work is today and the insight it provides into what Berge calls anti-cartel law.
