Antitrust and Global Capitalism, 1930-2004

Following the Great Depression, Americans sought to impose accountability on U.S. big business through antitrust. During the 1930s, Britain, France, Australia, Germany, and Japan all rejected antitrust as unsuited to their institutions and cultures. After World War II, however, these same and other nations adopted antitrust. Why? This book employs history to reveal how antitrust fostered an international competition consciousness capable of curbing global capitalism.Freyer, Tony is the author of 'Antitrust and Global Capitalism, 1930-2004', published 2006 under ISBN 9780521817882 and ISBN 0521817889.
