  Competition policy embraces control of monopolies, mergers, cartels and regulated utilities and is a major tool by which government regulates companies. This book analyzes British policy from its creation in 1948 to its radical reform in the Competition Act 1998. The study is built on a history which stresses the administration of policy and the politics behind its development. It seeks to offer an insight into both the British model of policy and the distinctive features of British capitalism.
