New Deal and the Problem of Monopoly: A Study in Economic Ambivalence - Paperback

by Ellis W. Hawley (Author)

A re-issue of this classic study of President Roosevelt's adminstrative policy toward monopoly during the period of the New Deal, updated with a new introduction by the author.

Back Jacket

During the New Deal and since, both liberals and conservatives have cited the Roosevelt administration's policy toward monopoly as an example of illogical consistency....This superb book...makes clear that the inconsistency was the result of political tugging and hauling rather than the president's muddy thinking...Thoroughly researched, clearly written, sharply thought out and focused, this book is a major contribution to the history of economic thought"." -- 'The Journal of American History'
