How Cartels Endure and how They Fail

Why do some cartels fail and others succeed? This question has intrigued economists for a hundred years, and they have created an extensive body of theory to help explain cartel behaviour. This book looks at the experience of actual cartels and challenges their portrayal as found in the existing literature. The eleven chapters by leading researchers of industrial organization study real examples of industrial collusion. The authors investigate the formation, behaviour, activity and purpose of cartels, and illustrate the intricacies of collusive relationships. In the process they question the existing economic theory surrounding the operation of cartels, which in practice do not always adhere...

Hollywood Under Siege

A behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Last Temptation of Christ and the controversy following its release. In 1988, director Martin Scorsese fulfilled his lifelong dream of making a film about Jesus Christ. Rather than celebrating the film as a statement of faith, churches and religious leaders immediately went on the attack, alleging blasphemy. At the height of the controversy, thousands of phone calls a day flooded the Universal switchboard, and before the year was out, more than three million mailings protesting the film fanned out across the country. For the first time in history, a studio took responsibility for protecting theaters and scrambled to recruit a “field crisis team...

Property, Power and Politics

  • Categories: Law

Globalization is an extraordinary phenomenon affecting virtually everything in our lives. And it is imperative that we understand the operation of economic power in a globalized world if we are to address the most challenging issues our world is facing today, from climate change to world hunger and poverty. This revolutionary work rethinks globalization as a power system feeding from, and in competition with, the state system. Cutting across disciplines of law, politics and economics, it explores how multinational enterprises morphed into world political organisations with global reach and power, but without the corresponding responsibilities. In illuminating how the concentration of property rights within corporations has led to the rejection of democracy as an ineffective system of government and to the rise in inequality, Robé offers a clear pathway to a fairer and more sustainable power system.

Cloth and Clay: a Davison-Ferguson History is the story of two immigrant families united by marriage in nineteenth century Ontario. Traced back to their earliest known origins in North East Scotland and in Yorkshire, England and County Donegal and County Cork in Ireland, the narrative probes the challenges they faced in their homeland, reveals why they made the decision to emigrate and illustrates how they became established in the pottery and tailoring trades. Cloth and Clay explores the local history of both Hamilton and London, Ontario as the story of the Davisons and Fergusons unfolds. It is a well researched investigation of two families within the broader immigrant experience in Canada
