In a Few Hands

by Estes Kefauver

The prices we are charged, the products we are offered, the jobs we may have, the taxes we pay, the kind of community in which we live - even the safety with which we use certain products such as drugs - all are affected by power held in a few hands: the power of monopolies in America. During the last years of his life, Senator Kefauver became increasingly convinced that the public must be informed of the fundamental changes that are taking place in our economy. From the hearings of the Senate Subcommittee on Antitrust and Monopoly from 1956 to 1963, he uncovered many of the facts that appear in this book.
