• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Anti-competitive business cartels engaging in practices such as price fixing, market sharing, bid rigging and restrictions on output, are now subject to strong official censure and rigorous legal control in a large number of jurisdictions across the world. Cartel Criminality discusses these business cartels, why they come into existence and persist, why they are regarded as being so bad, and the objectives within the increasingly complex and multi-level phenomenon of legal control.
