Concentration And Control: A Solution Of The Trust Problem In The United States (1912)

""Concentration and Control: A Solution of the Trust Problem in the United States"" is a book written by Charles Richard Van Hise in 1912. The book explores the issue of trusts, or large corporations, that had become dominant in many industries in the United States at the time. Van Hise argues that the concentration of economic power in the hands of a few large corporations was detrimental to competition and ultimately harmful to the economy as a whole. The book proposes a solution to the problem of trusts through the establishment of a system of control and regulation that would limit the power of these corporations and promote fair competition. Van Hise advocates for a system of government oversight and regulation of the economy, with the goal of ensuring that no single corporation could become too dominant. Throughout the book, Van Hise draws on his background in geology and natural resources to make the case for a more sustainable and equitable economic system. He argues that the concentration of economic power in the hands of a few large corporations was not only harmful to competition, but also to the environment and the well-being of workers. Overall, ""Concentration and Control"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a solution to one of the most pressing economic issues of its time. Its ideas and arguments continue to be relevant today, as debates about the role of government regulation in the economy continue to shape public policy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
