The Federal Trade Commission

"The Federal Trade Commission" by Gerard C. Henderson is a seminal study providing a detailed analysis of one of the United States' most significant regulatory bodies during its formative years. Written just a decade after the commission's inception, this work offers an in-depth examination of the administrative procedures and legal foundations that define the FTC's mandate to maintain fair competition and prevent unfair business practices.Henderson meticulously explores the origins of the commission, its relationship with the judicial system, and the complexities of antitrust enforcement. The book serves as a vital historical record of early 20th-century economic policy, focusing on the tension between government regulation and private enterprise. By analyzing specific cases and the procedural evolution of the agency, the author provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of how the FTC sought to interpret and apply the laws governing interstate commerce.
