Notes:
Deals with the proclaimed 1945 intent of the government to prohibit anti-social restrictive practices to find that the 'actual policy record was very weak'. Considers the setting up of the Monopolies & Restrictive Practices Commission and its early impact. Sections include 'Labour, cartels, monopoly and competition'; 'Private sector's reaction to anti-cartel policy'; 'Restrictive practices as an example of Labour's policies for the private sector'; 'Competition'; 'Government policy'
