Why is it important?

Examines antimonopoly (and antitrust) as an enduring and malleable tradition in US politics. Places opposition to monopoly in the context of a more broadly based aversion to concentrated power which can be exploited to arouse popular opposition to public ('big government') as well as to private ('big corporations') power. Notes potential for further scholarly attention to the transnational and comparative dimensions of the topic.
