History of the Sherman Law of the United States of America, written by Albert Henry Walker and originally published in 1910, provides a comprehensive overview of the Sherman Antitrust Act and its early interpretations. This seminal work explores the origins, development, and initial applications of the landmark legislation designed to prevent monopolies and restraint of trade. Walker meticulously details the legal landscape that led to the Act's passage and examines key cases that shaped its understanding and enforcement.
Offering valuable insights into the economic and political context of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this book remains an essential resource for legal scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of antitrust law in the United States. It captures a pivotal moment in American history when the government sought to regulate burgeoning industries and protect consumers from unfair business practices. Walker's thorough analysis provides a foundational understanding of the principles that continue to influence antitrust policy today.
