Excerpt from book: they had always regarded monopolies as contrary to the spirit and policy of the common law. The principal evils which led to public outcry against monopolies and to the final denial of the power to make them were the power which the monopoly gave to the one who enjoyed it to fix the price and thereby injure the public; the power which it engendered of enabling a limitation on production; and the danger of deterioration in quality of the monopolized article which it was deemed was the inevitable resultant of the monopolistic control over its production and sale. Monopolies were also thought to tend toward the impoverishment of labor.18 In the famous Case of the Monopolies Sir Edward Coke declared that a grant from the crown of a monopoly was void at common law as being incompatible with the English constitution, and this ruling was subsequently adopted by the statute of monopolies, which declared prior monopoly grants void and no longer of effect, and regulated the right of the crown to create them for the future.14 But though monopolies by grant came thus to be regarded as unlawful, it is remarkable that nowhere at common law can there be found a prohibition against the creation of a monopoly as such by an individual. However, as it was considered, at least so far as the necessaries of life were concerned, that individuals by the abuse of their right to contract might be able to usurp the power arbitrarily to enhance prices, one of the wrongs arising from monopoly, it came to be that laws were passed relating to offenses such as forestalling, regrating and engrossing by which prohibitions were placed upon the power of individuals to deal under such circumstances and conditions as to give rise to the presumption of an intent to injure others through the means, for instance, of a...

2004 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Supreme Court's unanimous decision to end segregation in public schools. Many people were elated when Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren delivered Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka in May 1954, the ruling that struck down state-sponsored racial segregation in America's public schools. Thurgood Marshall, chief attorney for the black families that launched the litigation, exclaimed later, "I was so happy, I was numb." The novelist Ralph Ellison wrote, "another battle of the Civil War has been won. The rest is up to us and I'm very glad. What a wonderful world of possibilities are unfolded for the children!" Here, in a concise, moving narrative, Bancroft Prize-winning historian James T. Patterson takes readers through the dramatic case and its fifty-year aftermath. A wide range of characters animates the story, from the little-known African Americans who dared to challenge Jim Crow with lawsuits (at great personal cost); to Thurgood Marshall, who later became a Justice himself; to Earl Warren, who shepherded a fractured Court to a unanimous decision. Others include segregationist politicians like Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas; Presidents Eisenhower, Johnson, and Nixon; and controversial Supreme Court justices such as William Rehnquist and Clarence Thomas. Most Americans still see Brown as a triumph--but was it? Patterson shrewdly explores the provocative questions that still swirl around the case. Could the Court--or President Eisenhower--have done more to ensure compliance with Brown? Did the decision touch off the modern civil rights movement? How useful are court-ordered busing and affirmative action against racial segregation? To what extent has racial mixing affected the academic achievement of black children? Where indeed do we go from here to realize the expectations of Marshall, Ellison, and others in 1954?
