Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth study of the formation, operation, and controversial practices of the Standard Oil Company, the archetypal American monopoly. The author begins by presenting the historical and economic context that gave rise to the oil industry in the United States, then charts the Standard Oil's rise to dominance at the end of the 19th century. Detailing the ruthless tactics employed by the company under John D. Rockefeller, the author provides a granular analysis of the Standard Oil's transportation, refining, and marketing strategies that stifled competition and created a de-facto monopoly. By examining primary source documents, such as railroad records and secret company communications, the author reveals the secret rebates, preferential rates, and other unfair advantages that enabled the Standard Oil to crush rivals and control the oil market. The author concludes by discussing the government's antitrust investigations and lawsuits against the Standard Oil, and assesses the effectiveness of government regulation in curbing monopolies.
