Subject: Re: Anti-trust
Jerry,
The works I'm most familiar with in this area are: Michael Best
THE NEW COMPETITION , I believe from 1989, presents a different view that
the classic anti-trust approach. Bennett Harrison LEAN AND MEAN on more
recent industrial organization, not so much anti-trust. Alfred Chandler
THE VISIBLE HAND among many other works is the pre-eminent econmic
historian of industiral organization who also is more postive about U.S.
big business in the post-war era than most anti-trust types. THere is
also CONRTRIVED COMPETITION , i forget the author but he teaches at
Harvard I believe and came out a few years ago.
I'll post on radical econ list to wee what else comes up.
Cheers, and Good Luck!
Ron
