The Morals Of Monopoly And Competition (1916)

The Morals of Monopoly and Competition is a book written by Homer Blosser Reed and published in 1916. The book is a detailed exploration of the ethical implications of two economic systems - monopoly and competition. Reed argues that both systems have their own set of moral values, and that it is important to understand these values in order to make informed decisions about economic policy.The book begins with an overview of the history of monopoly and competition, and the ways in which they have shaped economic systems throughout history. Reed then goes on to explore the moral implications of these systems, examining the ways in which they impact individuals, society, and the environment.Throughout the book, Reed argues that competition is a more ethical economic system than monopoly. He argues that competition encourages innovation, rewards hard work, and promotes social mobility. In contrast, he argues that monopoly stifles innovation, concentrates wealth in the hands of a few, and creates a culture of complacency.Reed also explores the role of government in regulating these economic systems, arguing that government intervention is necessary to prevent monopolies from dominating the market and to ensure that competition remains fair and open.Overall, The Morals of Monopoly and Competition is a thought-provoking examination of the ethical implications of economic systems. It is a must-read for anyone interested in economics, business, or social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
