Sommario/riassunto

Frances Milton Trollope was born on March 10th, 1779 at Stapleton in Bristol. The mother of the world famed Anthony Trollope, and his brother Thomas Adolphus Trollope, she was a late entrant to the ranks of authors being fifty when she embarked upon this new career, and even then more by necessity for income than by design. Her first book, in 1832, Domestic Manners of the Americans, gained her immediate notice. Although it was a one sided view of the failings of Americans, it was also witty and acerbic. But much of the attention she received was for her strong novels of social protest. Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw, published in 1836, was the first anti-slavery novel, and was a great influence on the American writer Harriet Beecher Stowe and her more famous Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1852. Michael Armstrong: Factory Boy began publication in 1840 and was the first industrial novel to be published in Britain. These were followed by three volumes of The Vicar of Wrexhill, which examined the corruption in the Church of England and evangelical circles. However her greatest work is more often considered to be the Widow Barnaby trilogy (published between 1839-1843). In later years Frances Milton Trollope continued to write novels and books on wide, varied and miscellaneous subjects, writing in all in excess of a quite incredible 100 volumes. Frances Milton Trollope died



on October 6th, 1863.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of product differentiation, blending insights from industrial organization, spatial economics, and game theory. In modern economies, nearly every product—from consumer electronics to household goods—comes in multiple variants, reflecting firms' strategic efforts to differentiate their offerings. But why do firms differentiate their products? How do they set prices for these variants? And does this process lead to an efficient market outcome? It examines both horizontal and vertical differentiation, investigating how firms compete not only on price but also on product characteristics such as location, quality, and perceived



value. Special attention is given to the role of network effects, industry structure, and monopolistic competition, shedding light on how differentiation influences market dynamics. Key topics include: The historical evolution of product differentiation theories and recent advances in the field. The spatial metaphor of a differentiated industry and the structure of demand. Horizontal differentiation models, including Hotelling’s framework and political science analogies. Vertical differentiation and the role of quality, production costs, and regulatory standards. The impact of network effects on pricing, market equilibria, and two-sided markets. Monopolistic competition and its implications for excess capacity and market efficiency. With rigorous theoretical models and real-world applications, this book is essential reading for economists, researchers, and students seeking to understand the fundamental mechanisms shaping modern industrial competition.
