This book, edited by Emil Lederer, examines the concept, causes, and effects of cartels within the German economic context during the early 20th century. It features contributions from several scholars, including Arnold Wolfers, and explores the dynamics between cartels and competition, the pursuit of monopoly profits, and the role of state intervention. The text provides a critical review of existing cartel literature, highlights the evolution of cartel theory, and discusses the systematic organization of cartels. The book is intended for scholars and practitioners interested in economic theory, cartel regulation, and German economic history. |
