“ The act prohibited exclusive sales contracts, local price cutting to freeze out competitors, rebates, interlocking directorates in corporations capitalized at $1 million or more in the same field of business, and intercorporate stock holdings” [6]. In regards to labor union, this act determined that human labor disputes can be settled by strikes and boycotts, something that was deemed unlawful under the Sherman Antitrust Act. The most important part of this act was if a company buys a competing firm they then create an anticompetitive merger. “While most mergers allow the companies to create better quality goods at less expensive prices, some mergers limit competition and make price fixing easier. This part of the act was designed to prevent mergers from creating…
I firmly believe that we should do something to redistribute the wealth'y money, however, I don't think a bill would pass anytime soon. Most likely, as the government is mostly run by companies, Congress would be paid off to dismiss the bill or delay it. Even though the Sherman Anti-trust act was implemented to prevent monopolies form forming, it is currently being unenforced. It would be more efficient to tax or regulated the richs' source of money, then they themselves.…
Commerce Clause The Commerce Clause is imperative in the American Constitution for the limits and the scope of the power of the Federal government to instigate regulations in America’s economic activities to stem from it.

For instance credit transactions, federal crimes, transfer of electronic funds, consumer warranties, and unfair practices in trade, trademarks, environmental protection, securities, among others (Mann and Roberts 69). The eighth section of the first article in the clause provides the federal government with a prolific and an extensive source of power in the regulation of America’s economy.…
Consumers, workers, farmers, and other suppliers were directly hurt monetarily as a result of the monopolizations. Even more important, perhaps, was that the trusts fanned into renewed flame a traditional U.S. fear and hatred of unchecked power, whether political or economic, and particularly of monopolies that ended or threatened equal opportunity for all businesses. The public demanded legislative action, which prompted Congress, in 1890, to pass the Sherman Act. The act was followed by several other antitrust acts, including the clayton act of 1914 (15 U.S.C.A. §§ 12 et seq.), the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 (15 U.S.C.A. §§ 41 et seq.), and the robinson-patman act of 1936 (15 U.S.C.A. §§ 13a, 13b, 21a). All of these acts attempt to prohibit anticompetitive practices and prevent unreasonable concentrations of economic power that stifle or weaken competition.…
Sherman Anti-Trust Act The Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890 (15 U.S.C.A. ), the first and most noteworthy of the U.S. antitrust laws, was marked into law by President Benjamin Harrison and is named after its essential supporter, Ohio Senator John Sherman. The predominant financial hypothesis supporting antitrust laws in the United States is that the general population is best served by free rivalry in exchange and industry. At the point when organizations reasonably seek the buyer's dollar, the nature of items and administrations expands while the costs diminish. On the other hand, numerous organizations would rather direct the value, amount, and nature of the products that they deliver, without needing to vie for shoppers.…

These are troubled times. The stock market crash is still affecting the American economy, even now, three years later. In fact, the situation is only getting worse. Stock value keeps falling: it is twenty percent what it was worth before the crash in 1929 ("About the Great Depression”). Banks are failing, and fear of their failure is causing the people to withdrawal their fund, which then causes the actual collapse of the financial institution.…
The False Claims Act is a piece of legislation from the U.S. Congress that allows any individual with knowledge of a fraud being perfected against any agency of the U.S. Government to file a claim on behalf of the Government against the individual or business that has or is committing such fraud.
