I just found this sorting through some notes.

John R. Bunting. 1964. The Hidden Face of Free Enterprise: The Strange 
Economics of
the American Businessman (NY: McGraw Hill).
He was a vice president of the Philadelphia branch of the Federal Reserve Bank.
104: A Philadelphia banker in 1962 said to him that much of the overcapacity at 
the
time came as a result of "defensive investment in industries dominated by a few 
large
firms.  Each company invests more and more to make sure that it maintains its 
share
....  The firms are able to do this because the big business which dominates 
American
industry finances itself largely from the internal flow of funds."
