How giant corporations shape prices, wages, and politics—and what to do about it.
In The Problem of Monopoly, John Bates Clark lays out how large firms can limit output, raise prices, and squeeze labor. It offers a practical look at the economic forces at work and the steps society can take to restore fair competition.
This edition presents clear explanations of how monopolies affect everyday life, the economy, and the balance between labor and capital. It argues for reforms that aim to keep industry productive while protecting workers and the public from the worst abuses of market power.

Excerpt from The Problem of Monopoly: A Study of a Grave Danger, and of the Natural Mode, of Averting It
This little work gives permanent form to a course of lectures recently delivered in Cooper Union, New York. They were given in an Ofi-hand way and stenographically reported; and they are now published with a minimum of revision. The considerate reader will, as I hope, take the book for what it is, in view of the manner of its preparation and its general purpose. That purpose is merely to apply to important problems economic prin ciples which have recently become known.
