Notes:
Deals with collusion in the copper extraction / smelting industries, nature of its operation, level of its success / failure, etc - inter alia, reinforcing the argument that 'by artificially raising profits, cartels can undermine the competitiveness of their members, who may face severe difficulties when price regulations cease and they are exposed to unprotected market conditions'. Much about First (established 1824) and especially Second (1844-67) Copper Trade Associations
