Excerpt from The Disintegration of Monopoly, and Other Articles In general terms we all know that' a trust is the latest and most perfect form of combination among competing producers to control the supply of their products in order that they may dictate the terms on which they shall sell in the market, and may secure release from stress of competition among themselves. From the very beginning of trade, perhaps, certainly in all its known history, there have been various forms of combination, and we have long been familiar with them in this country under the name of pools, corners, combines and the like.

The Monopolists
Author: Mary Pilon
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1620405717
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
The Monopolists reveals the unknown story of how Monopoly came into existence, the reinvention of its history by Parker Brothers and multiple media outlets, the lost female originator of the game, and one man's lifelong obsession to tell the true story about the game's questionable origins. Most think it was invented by an unemployed Pennsylvanian who sold his game to Parker Brothers during the Great Depression in 1935 and lived happily--and richly--ever after. That story, however, is not exactly true. Ralph Anspach, a professor fighting to sell his Anti-Monopoly board game decades later, unearthed the real story, which traces back to Abraham Lincoln, the Quakers, and a forgotten feminist named Lizzie Magie who invented her nearly identical Landlord's Game more than thirty years before Parker Brothers sold their version of Monopoly. Her game--underpinned by morals that were the exact opposite of what Monopoly represents today--was embraced by a constellation of left-wingers from the Progressive Era through the Great Depression, including members of Franklin Roosevelt's famed Brain Trust. A gripping social history of corporate greed that illuminates the cutthroat nature of American business over the last century, The Monopolists reads like the best detective fiction, told through Monopoly's real-life winners and losers.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Disintegration of Monopoly, and Other Articles The tariff and the trusts are vaguely associated in the public mind as having a causal relation. It is true they have a contemporary presence in our politics, and while both the tariff and the trusts affect commodity prices in our markets to the restriction of competition and enhancement of profits, yet it is not true that there is the direct relation between the tariff and the trusts which is generally assumed. Indeed it may be said that the most notable of our trusts, the Standard Oil Company and the American Tobacco Company, could in no wise have been affected by the let or hindrance of the tariff of duties on importations. The steel and iron industry has been stimulated and sustained by the tariff as advocated by the Pennsylvania school of protection, yet it must be said that the protective tariff has not been an important contributory factor in the organization of the steel trust or the United States Steel Corporation as it is properly designated. And it is right at this point that there must be a clarifying of ideas before progress can be made in the disintegration of monopolies as exemplified in the highly organized and integrated combinations of capital and control which have had such notable manifestation in recent American industrial enterprise. The preferential discrimination which the tariff gives to the home producer in the American market operates equally in favor of both small and large producers.

Extra Life
Author: Steven Johnson
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525538879
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
“Offers a useful reminder of the role of modern science in fundamentally transforming all of our lives.” —President Barack Obama (on Twitter) “An important book.” —Steven Pinker, The New York Times Book Review The surprising and important story of how humans gained what amounts to an extra life, from the bestselling author of How We Got to Now and Where Good Ideas Come From In 1920, at the end of the last major pandemic, global life expectancy was just over forty years. Today, in many parts of the world, human beings can expect to live more than eighty years. As a species we have doubled our life expectancy in just one century. There are few measures of human progress more astonishing than this increased longevity. Extra Life is Steven Johnson’s attempt to understand where that progress came from, telling the epic story of one of humanity’s greatest achievements. How many of those extra years came from vaccines, or the decrease in famines, or seatbelts? What are the forces that now keep us alive longer? Behind each breakthrough lies an inspiring story of cooperative innovation, of brilliant thinkers bolstered by strong systems of public support and collaborative networks, and of dedicated activists fighting for meaningful reform. But for all its focus on positive change, this book is also a reminder that meaningful gaps in life expectancy still exist, and that new threats loom on the horizon, as the COVID-19 pandemic has made clear. How do we avoid decreases in life expectancy as our public health systems face unprecedented challenges? What current technologies or interventions that could reduce the impact of future crises are we somehow ignoring? A study in how meaningful change happens in society, Extra Life celebrates the enduring power of common goals and public resources, and the heroes of public health and medicine too often ignored in popular accounts of our history. This is the sweeping story of a revolution with immense public and personal consequences: the doubling of the human life span.
