Why is it important?
Understanding the emergence of modern competition policy might be of importance for the design of modern competition policy. Moreover, economic history provides unique case studies and data to study industrial organization and the emergence of market structures.
Perspectives
Contributing an article to this book was a great pleasure for me. I recommend the book "An Economist's Guide to Economic History" to every student of economics who is interested in economic history, development economics, or applied empirical economics in general.
