Anti-trust legislation never works, largely because monopolies are impossible without government intervention. There's an excellent article on this by Alan Greenspan, Federal Reserve head, in Ayn Rand's book, ``Capitalisim, the Unknown Ideal'' (along with another article by him on why a gold standard is necessary to prevent government abuse -- written long before he became head of the Fed :-).
