39、nB.the process of forming monopoliesC.the historical reasons for the enactment of the Sherman Act D.Standard Oil and its predatory practices in the 1880s解析：听力原文 Law: Anti-trust LawProfessor: Today we are going to begin studying about anti-trust laws. The need for anti-trust legislation began when Am
40、erica was expanding industrially during the 1880s. During this time period America was experiencing a huge influx of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe because America was in the midst of its Industrial Revolution and needed workers. No longer did the “cottage“ industry represent industry i
41、n America. The factory did. And with the factory came development in trade and commerce. The railroads expanded and factories and companies, such as steel companies, became larger and more important to American commerce. The men who owned and ran these companies were wealthy and they became even wea
42、lthier as American industrial growth continued. Sometimes these individuals were referred to as “industrial giants“ or “moguls of industry“ and other times they were called “robber barons“ and other names which were not representing them in a positive light. The reason for this was that many people
43、believed these wealthy individuals were getting richer at the expense of the common person. They were increasing their holdings by taking advantage of small companies by purchasing them at very low prices or causing the small companies not to be profitable so they could be bought up at very low pric
44、es. They also combined with other profitable companies to make an even larger company. And as a result, the wealthy got wealthier, and they increased their business holdings by leaps and bounds and they dominated the industry with their large company while reducing competition. In 1890, Congress pas
45、sed the first legislation in America to try to curb these undesirable business practices. The law was called the Sherman Anti-Trust Law and was directed at preventing monopolies. Now, you have to remember that having a monopoly in and of itself is not necessarily illegal. If a monopoly has been thru
46、st upon you, as a business person, because you are the only one in a certain industry, then you may have done nothing illegal. What the Sherman Act was directed to was preventing the formation of monopolies. That means business owners could not purchase other companies similar to theirs to become “b
47、ig“ and run smaller companies out of business. It also meant that business owners could not use predatory practices to gain a business advantage. And, I think you all know that a “predatory practice“ is one that exploits or takes advantage of another. So, Congress was trying to curb the abuse of big
48、 business restraining trade when it passed the Sherman Act. The act provided that every contract, combined in the form of mast or otherwise, or a conspiracy in restraint of trade was illegal. Now, the language of the law stated this illegality applied to commerce within the United States as well as
49、foreign commerce. Second, the Sherman Act provided that anyone who monopolized, or attempted to monopolize, or combined or conspired with any other person to monopolize trade or commerce in the U.S. or with foreign countries was guilty of a felony. The law was an attempt to break up the business trust known as Standard Oil and controlled by John D. Rockefeller and his business associates because it was thought Standard Oil was increasing the costs for the consumers by artificially raising prices by rest
