This isn't the easiest read, but if you can force yourself through some of the dense parts, it's very informative and you will learn a lot about monopolies, anti-trust laws, and historical lawsuits。 It can be dry, but it's well worth reading。 This isn't the easiest read, but if you can force yourself through some of the dense parts, it's very informative and you will learn a lot about monopolies, anti-trust laws, and historical lawsuits。 It can be dry, but it's well worth reading。 。。。more
