trust-busting movements

Trust-busting movements refer to efforts to break up large monopolies or powerful corporations that dominate markets and limit competition. These initiatives aim to ensure fair prices, innovation, and consumer choice by preventing companies from abusing their market power. Historically, government authorities like the U.S. Department of Justice have taken actions against such monopolies, enforcing antitrust laws. Trust-busting promotes a healthier economy where multiple companies can compete on equal terms, fostering innovation and protecting consumers from unfair practices.
