520			_a"There are today two new major trends among prominent economists on the subject of monopoly. The first is to compile statistical data to prove that monopoly is insignificant and constitutes no problem for the American people. The second is to muster theoretical arguments to convince the public that monopoly, if called by some other name, becomes good for the people and is necessary to the economic development of the nation." -- From the introduction.
