Business, Antitrust Policy, and the Industrial Board of the Department of Commerce, 1919

Author

Listed:
  • Himmelberg, Robert F.

Abstract

A mass of rhetoric proclaimed the Industrial Board as a Progressive measure to forestall a post-World War I depression through governmental price manipulation. After a closer look at the personalities and policies involved, Professor Himmelberg argues that the Board was, actually, an effort by organized business groups to force antitrust revision upon the Wilson administration.
