EDITOR'S PREFACE AFTER nearly a half-century of Trust ex perience it is becoming apparent what the national trust problem is, and how it shall be handled. It needed the struggle over the status of the Standard Oil Company, the uncertainties of railroad combinations, and the crowning purpose of the Northern Securities Company to make known the length and the breadth of the problem. For full half of the time devoted to this great economic question, the author of this volume has been in the midst of the situation. Equipped with thorogoing training and possessed of wide knowledge of the facts, Dr. Crowell has given to The National Social Science Series a really important contribution to the Trust question. Big business is on trial, so is competition as an economic factor. What we shall do with them? This is the question the book well answers. F. L. M. 312532 |
