Summary: "Thurman Wesley Arnold (June 2, 1891 – November 7, 1969) was best known for his trust-busting campaign as Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division in President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Department of Justice from 1938 to 1943. He later served as an Associate Justice of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Before coming to Washington in 1938, Arnold was the mayor of Laramie, Wyoming, and then a professor at Yale Law School, where he took part in the legal realism movement, and published two books: The Symbols of Government (1935) and The Folklore of Capitalism (1937). A few years later, he published The Bottlenecks of Business (1940)." - from Wikipedia.org, downloaded 3/27/2021Summary: "Written in 1937 when the Thurman W. Arnold was a law professor at Yale, the Folklore of Capitalism is a puckish but serious critique of what he saw as the myths of capitalism." -- onlineSummary: "By the folklore of capitalism I mean those ideas about social organizations which are not regarded as folklore but accepted as fundamental principles of law and economics.This book is an application to a broader field of the same point of view represented in my former book, "The Symbols of Government." It continues from where that book left off, but since "The Folklore of Capitalism" must stand by itself, it has been necessary to repeat in the first chapters many of the observations that have already been made in "The Symbols of Government." -- from the preface
