In this incisive and comprehensive history, business historian Charles Geisst        traces the rise of monopolies from the railroad era to today's computer software        empires.The history of monopolies has been dominated by strong and charismatic        personalities. Geisst tells the stories behind the individuals--from John D.          Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie to Harold Geneen and Bill Gates--who forged these        business empires with genius, luck, and an often ruthless disregard for fair        competition. He also analyzes the viewpoints of their equally colorful critics, from        Louis Brandeis to Ralph Nader. These figures enliven the narrative, offering insight        into how large businesses accumulate power. Viewed as either godsends or pariahs,        monopolies have sparked endless debate and often conflicting responses from        Washington. Monopolies in America surveys the important pieces of legislation and        judicial rulings that have emerged since the post-Civil War era, and proposes that        American antitrust activity has had less to do with hard economics than with        political opinion. What was considered a monopoly in 1911 when Standard Oil and        American Tobacco were broken up was not applied again when the Supreme Court refused        to dismantle U.S. Steel in 1919. Charting the growth of big business in the United        States, Geisst reaches the startling conclusion that the mega-mergers that have        dominated Wall Street headlines for the past fifteen years are not simply a trend,        but a natural consequence of American capitalism.Intelligent and informative,        Monopolies in America skillfully chronicles the course of American big business, and        allows us to see how the debate on monopolies will be shaped in the twentieth-first        century.
