Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'Sherman Act'

The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 was the first United States federal statute to limit monopolies and prohibit business practices considered anticompetitive. This landmark legislation, championed by Senator John Sherman, established the foundation for American antitrust law and government regulation of business combinations that restrain trade or attempt to monopolize markets. In alternate history scenarios, different implementations or absence of the Sherman Act could dramatically alter American economic development, corporate power structures, and the relationship between government and business.
