Monopoly critique by Willard Thorp stirs debate
NEA Service Staff Correspondent reports on the monopoly investigation prologue. Willard Thorp of the Commerce Department argues no real monopoly exists outside aluminum, noting that even Standard Oil never held 100 percent control and that monopolies arise from diverse industry agreements rather than a single giant. He claims Sherman law spurred combinations, praising corporate forms for financing and evading laws, while criticizing Thorp’s position as within the government.
