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'
