Annotation

The prevailing economic theory and legislative practice generally perceive the process of monopolization and cartelization negatively as a phenomenon reducing the market performance. However, prior to World War II, cartels were perceived quite differently in economic and political contexts.

On the European continent, they were credited with increasing the efficiency of market competition, stimulating technological innovations and mitigating the negative effects of economic crises. Indeed, it was possible to speak of the "Janus-faced" cartels.

On the one hand, they harmed consumers, but on the other hand, cartels contributed to the long-term development of the economy. What concrete impacts did cartels have on economic performance, socio-economic relations on the market, and national economic policy in Central European perspective?
