Nuestra legislación represiva de los monopolios y las nuevas formas de organización de la producción

Analysing thoroughly the economic and juridical situation both in Argentina and abroad, as well as the ideas which suggested the necessity of establishing rules for the agreements in order to soften the competition, the author considers that Argentine must adjust itself to the new forms of production organization. For an industry which is no longer in its initial phases and will continue to grow, our laws are no suitable instruments and a legislation should be created which not only allows the industrial organization but also furthers it, giving the State the necessary power the repress any excess which could be perjudicial to public welfare. This could be achieved without sacrificing the democratic principles which are so dear to our heart and from which mankind can expect many an advantage. The author thinks that in Argentina, as in France, the corresponding dispositions of the criminal code should be substituted by other economic legal tools. Instituto de Investigaciones Económicas
