Bad Business: Anti-trust as Anti-monopoly

Grant Year: 2023-2024

Principal Investigator:  Richard John, Professor of Journalism at Columbia Journalism School

Anti-monopoly shares commonalities with federal and state anti-trust legislation. Yet anti-monopoly and anti-trust are not the same. This project, on the history, character and significance of anti-monopoly, involves archival research at four repositories, the publication of a scholarly essay on the meaning and significance of anti-monopoly for subaltern groups, and analysis using natural language processing, of three machine-readable corpora.
