The book explores the origins of monopolies, their development throughout history, and their impact on the economy, politics, and social structure of various societies. Le Rossignol examines the monopolies of ancient Greece and Rome, the medieval guilds, the East India Company, and the modern trusts and cartels of the late 19th century.
