Samuel Milner provides a historical context for contemporary efforts to resolve these anxieties by examining the contest to control the distribution of corporate income during the mid-twentieth century. During this \"Golden Age of American Capitalism,\" apprehension about the debilitating consequences of industrial concentration fueled efforts to ensure that management would share the fruits of progress with workers, consumers, and society as a whole. Focusing on wage and price determination in steel, automobiles, and electrical equipment, Milner reveals how the management of concentrated industries understood its ability to distribute income to its stakeholders as well as why economists, courts, and public policymakers struggled to curtail the exercise of that market power at its source.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Evan Milner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300257341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300257342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Samuel Evan Milner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43996507078911,"sku":"9780300257342","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c596e831-7a95-48a1-a9d7-dc08ee7f0f1b.jpg?v=1683342083","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/robbing-peter-to-pay-paul-samuel-evan-milner-9780300257342","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
