The Corporate Reconstruction of American Capitalism, 18901916 by Martin J Sklar

The Corporate Reconstruction of American Capitalism, 18901916 by Martin J Sklar

Around the turn of the century American politics entered a period of profound change during which regulatory minimalism and statist command with respect to the economy were rejected in favor of positive government engaged in both regulatory and distributive roles. Through a fresh examination of the judicial, legislative, and political aspects of the antitrust debates in the year from 1890 to 1916, Martin J. Sklar shows that the arguments were not simply over competition versus combination, but also over the larger question of the proper relation between government and the market and between the state and society.

'For many years historians of corporate America - myself among them - have benefitted from Martin JSklar's patient, prodigious, and path-breaking, but largely unpublished, studies. At long last, Professor Sklar has brought these studies together to provide an unparalleled account of the historic transformation that, more than any other, shaped the scoeity in which we still live. In the remarkable range and depth of his analysis, Sklar quietly displays the qualities that place him among the major historians of our era.' David F. Noble, Drexel University
'This is a first-rate scholarly contribution, daring in its conception and persuasive in its execution.' Robert M. Collins, University of Missouri
