This early 20th century volume on monopolies offers a fascinating glimpse into the economic landscape of the era.

Le Rossignol, an economist and journalist, brings his expertise to bear on the subject, exploring the historical precedents and contemporary manifestations of monopolies across various sectors.

Le Rossignol’s work offers valuable insights into the debates and concerns surrounding monopolies during a pivotal period in economic history, when the power of large corporations was increasingly being scrutinized and regulated.
