The story of a cartel that destroyed an American industry,
By
This review is from: The Fall of the U.S. Consumer Electronics Industry: An American Trade Tragedy (Hardcover)
If you have ever wondered why you can't buy and American-made radio or television set, the answer is in this book. And if you have ever wondered why the all-American company--Zenith Radio Corporation (later, Zenith Electronics Corporation) was driven to failure---Philip Curtis answers these questions. Curtis writes a brilliant and disturbing story and backs it up with citations, references, and compilations of evidence. Curtis was the "point man" for Zenith in two epic battles. Zenith won the first battle, but lost the second. The first battle was against a world-wide patent cartel, and the second, against an overseas dumping cartel that destroyed Zenith and the entire American consumer electronics industry. It is an epic story--an up-to-date David and Goliath story--with Zenith as little David against agains a Goliath comprising not only cartels of American, European and Far Eastern companies, but also the United States Government.
