Excerpt from Commercial Mortmain: A Study of the Trust Problem
I have endeavored to set forth in the following pages in a didactic form, a fair statement of both sides of the question of trusts and I place in juxtaposition in the introductory chapter, the his tory of the English Statutes of mortmain, which undertook to prevent the accumulation of lands by corporations, to show the impossibility of checking the trend of national development by penal legis lation.
Mortmain means dead-hand - the locking up of real estate by corporations - because corporations having perpetual life it was assumed that once being possessed of lands they would continue to hold them indefinitely, and thus withdraw them from the open market.

This book explores the history and impact of anti-trust legislation in the United States, arguing that the Sherman Anti-Trust Act has failed in its stated purpose of promoting competition and protecting consumers. The author traces the evolution of capital and industrial development, from individual partnerships to corporations, arguing that the Sherman Act has been unable to effectively address the new challenges posed by these concentrated forms of capital. The book also examines the concept of "over-capitalization" and its potential effects on consumers.
