About this book
Monopolies and the People is by Charles Whiting Baker, associate editor of The Engineering News. The preface says the author's endeavor is to present the results of a careful and impartial investigation into the present and prospective status of the monopolies in every industry. The preface adds a second aim: to discuss in all fairness the questions about these monopolies, their cause, growth, future prospects, evils, and remedies.
The text frames the problem as the problem of monopoly and asks what it is, whence it comes, what its effects are and, most important of all, what ought we to do about it. The text says Congress passed a bill laying a tax on the new butter sufficient to stop the sale, calling it an evident case of killing competition for the sake of the farming interests. The text says that in every case where combination or consolidation restricts competition in an industry, one effect produced is an increase in the power over the public which the industry possesses.
