trust busting  

Definition

  • A new kind of giant industrial corporation—commonly known as the trust—dominated American political and economic life at the turn of the twentieth century. Corporations of their magnitude and power, some controlling as much as 90 percent of their markets, were unprecedented in U.S. history before the Civil War, but by 1900 they had spread to several major industries.
