Investigation of Concentration of Economic Power: Monograph No. 28; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 474 pages; Clean and tight in original orange wrappers, light foxing to first couple pages. A Study made under the auspices of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the Temporary National Economic Committee, Seventy-Sixth Congress, Third Session, Pursuant to Public Resolution No. 113 (Seventy-fifth Congress), Authorizing and Directing a Select Committee to Make a Full and Complete Study and Investigation With Respect to the Concentration of Economic Power in, and Financial Control Over, Production and Distribution of Goods and Services.
