EDITORS COMMENTS
Twenty-Five Years After: The Relentless Pursuit of Monopoly in Business This thought-provoking illustration, dated July 29, 1908, depicts a stark contrast between the business environment of yesteryears and the cutthroat competition that had taken root. The central image shows a bloated bullmastiff, symbolizing monopoly, wearing a collar adorned with the label 'Monopoly.' The monopolist stands menacingly over a food trough, controlling access to the resources, while five emaciated dogs represent smaller businesses, desperately waiting for their turn to eat. An insert titled 'The Mania for Monopoly,' reprinted from Puck, October 10, 1883, offers a glimpse into the past. It shows business as it once was – a harmonious scene where all dogs, symbolizing businesses, ate from the same trough at the same time. However, the illustration also depicts the current state of business – a dog-eat-dog environment where survival depends on seizing opportunities and eliminating competition. The final image in the series is a chilling prediction of what the future may hold if no action is taken. In this vision, the monopolist's grip on the trough tightens, leaving the other dogs at the mercy of their dominant counterpart. This powerful illustration serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of unchecked monopolistic practices and the importance of fostering a fair and competitive business landscape.
