The Trust Problem in the United States is a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the rise of industrial monopolies and the evolution of corporate regulation within the American economy. Written by economist Eliot Jones, this seminal work delves into the complex history of trusts-large business combinations that dominated the industrial landscape in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book provides a meticulous analysis of the economic conditions that fostered the growth of these massive organizations, exploring their impact on competition, pricing, and the public welfare.

Jones details the legislative and judicial responses to the concentration of economic power, offering in-depth coverage of the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Clayton Act, and the establishment of the Federal Trade Commission. Through detailed case studies of major industries, the author evaluates the efficiency and social consequences of large-scale corporate consolidation. The Trust Problem in the United States remains an essential resource for students of economic history and legal scholars interested in the foundations of antitrust law and the ongoing debate over the role of government in regulating private industry.
