Antitrust laws are a set of laws that were made to protect consumers from unfair market places by promoting fair competition and prohibit monopolies from existing. These laws help to regulate the behavior and conduct of organizations to prevent from illegal acts such as price fixing, restraining, price discrimination or monopolizing (“Legal Information Institute”, 2007). Dated back to the 1800’s, it was common for one major company to have significant power over the economy, also known as trusts. Oil, railroads, steel and sugar were each controlled solely by one company and could set prices as high as they wanted due to its high demand (Killingsworth 2010). Out of fear that these companies would take control of the market and set higher prices, antitrust laws were formed. The first Antitrust law was created in 1890 when the Sherman Act was passed making it illegal for businesses to have an unfair monopoly or have an agreement to set the same prices with other businesses, also known as price fixing (“Federal Trade Commision”). Along with the Sherman Act, two other acts were passed. In 1914, the Clayton Act was passed to help protect consumers from merging companies who were apt to work together in pricing, and the Federal Trade Commision Act created a new federal agency that regulates, enforces and investigates to assure there is no unfair competition and to punish those that do so (“Federal Trade Commission”). Not only do these Antitrust laws apply in the regular…
The late 19th century is famous for large trusts dominating market power, such as John D Rockefeller’s oil and JPMorgan’s railroads. Even before Teddy Roosevelt could enforce his trust-busting leadership, the courts were determined to limit the power of huge corporations. These events took place just as professional baseball was at its inception. The Sherman Antitrust Act theoretically should have limited MLB as a monopoly. However, through court decisions, MLB was given immunity from antitrust…

Created in 1890, the Sherman Antitrust Act was the first legislation allowing the government to enforce regulations on trusts that interfered with free trade and market competition. Named after U.S. Senator John Sherman of Ohio, the act allowed government to establish proceedings against trusts in order to disassemble these organizations. Trusts had created many problems in the free market such as establishing monopolies over certain industries. This lead to extremely high prices and low supply…

I have a habit of tying my hair up into the highest and tightest ponytail I can if I want to concentrate. I started doing it in sophomore year, so my friends have joked for years that they can tell how serious I am based on whether my hair is tied up. But what they do not know—in fact, what nobody knows—is that every time I tie up my hair, I am actively throwing seventeen and a half years worth of deep insecurities out the window. And it is all over one thing: I have a weirdly-shaped head.…
I didn't know how to tie my laces for a long time. I tried all the methods people showed me; spinning the laces which are snakes, into loops and tie them to make a knot, and tying a lace around a loop to create a knot. No matter which method I tried I would never succeed. Whenever I tried to tie my laces I would tuck my laces into my shoes because when I tried to tie shoes I had with laces on them, the laces would always come apart, and I ended up just sitting there like a rock. One method I…
