The Federal Trade Commission Act

Born in 1823, John Sherman was going to change how the United States economy worked. His name is part of a very important act; the Sherman Antitrust Act. this disbanded all monopolized corporations and said price discrimination and interlocking doctorates are prohibited. Though this act was very crucial, many people took advantage. As a result of this another act had to be passed. A legislation that could strengthen the Sherman Act and take down all the trust. An act that could would not take the government time and money to trust bust the fraud businesses, but to take the responsibility of each individual in a business. Although pricing fixing and exclusive dealings were addressed in the Sherman Act, there needed to be another antitrust act to establish and extend the unfair business practices during the 19 century era.

In 1890, Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act to battle anticompetitive practices, reduce market domination by individual corporations, and preserve unfettered competition as the rule of trade ("Antitrust: an overview," 2011).The antitrust investigation that I am looking at is against several major baby formula brands. Companies that were involved in this investigation include Mead Johnson Nutrition of the United States, Dumex which is owned by Danone, Wyeth which is owned by Nestle, Abbotts and Friesland Campine, Biostime, and Beignmate.

It 's bad enough that we are embroiled in the worst recession since the Great Depression and yet, liberals in Washington want to spend more, save less, and yes, tax you some more. It has been said that some things come in three 's-well there you go. Spend more, save less, and tax more. I guess the saying is true to its meaning because Liberals seem to like that number 3, especially with this Cap and Trade bill. The Cap and Trade legislation seeks to create carbon credits-the only credit you and I will get is a VISA debit check card-which places credits in the hands of the polluters and allows them to pollute to a certain limits, based on the limits they were given. But when those companies fall under their mandated pollution limits, they can sell the remaining credits to other companies who haven 't yet. How sweet, huh? They get rewarded and what do we get in return? So what is it with this reward system and this global warming theory that the liberals and environmentalists are running up and down mountains to prove at all cost? Or is it, our cost? Who really is the enemy in all this so-called global warming panic attack? CO2 emissions are the enemy that 's who. The evil demon that needs to be eradicated immediately or we will just vaporize. But wait, CO2--don 't we need that? Is it me or has the long chain of human life that acquired an immense amount of intelligence through evolution just came to an end? CO2 is needed for life. Without it, we would all perish

Starting in 1902, reporters, referred to as Muckrakers, began publishing stories, which informed the general public of corruption in the business world. President Roosevelt spearheaded the task of breaking up trusts that he considered a danger to the public wellbeing. However, federal regulation of businesses proved difficult because of vague language the Sherman anti-trust act of 1890, although in 1914 the Clayton Anti-trust Act changed regulations: making them much clearer and closing loopholes. During this time, despite the controversy, the federal government created a central banking system with the 1913 Federal Reserve Act and later that year the 16th amendment was established and set restrictions on taxable income of individuals and

The Federal trade commission or called the FTC was created in 1914. The Federal Trade Commission Act is the act that started this commission and its purpose was to prevent unfair methods of competition in commerce as a part of the battle to “bust the trusts.” They also did this act to enhance the informed consumer choice and public understanding of this competitive process; and another reason was to accomplish this without the unduly burdening of legitimate business activity. The FTC deals with issues that do with the touchline of pretty much every American in the USA. These guys from the Federal Trade commission do an awesome job of saving and

It is no secret consumers enjoy shopping online, especially on websites such as Amazon, Ebay, and Overstock.com, where no sales tax is collected. As obeying, tax-paying citizens, all consumers are required to report on their income tax return the total amount spent on tax-free purchases, but reality reveals that very few consumers actually do. All an individual has to do is go to their state’s government website and download the tax form to keep track of their tax-free online purchases. For instance, the Louisiana governmental website allows individuals to download the R-1035 form to report their purchases every month. Alternatively, the consumer could report all of the purchases multiplied by an 8% tax rate (Louisiana Department of

Paul Stephen Dempsey, the Hughes Research Professor of Law and Director of the Transportation Law Program at the University Of Denver College Of Law, takes the speculation on the cost to the ultimate level. Through his collection of data, he shows that although revenue per passenger mile fell at 2.4% (1978-88) compared to 1.7% (1967-77), if the fuel prices are kept constant, the fuel adjusted real yield shows that the prices were falling more rapidly at 2.7% (1967-77) compared to 2.0% (1978-88). These figures proved that consumers were paying more in 1988 then what they would have paid with regulation in effect.

The FTC now has new directive to control cybersecurity. Section 5 of the FTC Act, courting back to 1914, forbids, “unfair or deceptive business practices in or effecting commerce.” Not astonishingly, the act brands no indication of cybersecurity. Nevertheless, the FTC has extended preserved that Congress envisioned for the term “unfair” to be construed sketchily

There have been a series of high profile data breaches in the last few years, including Home Depot, Target, and T Mobile (Bennett 2015). A hack of Rochester- based insurance provider Excellus BlueCross BlueShield compromised the records of over ten million customers, including medical and credit card data. Although the hack happened at least two years prior, customers were not notified until September of 2015 (Orr 2015). In an effort to prevent data breaches, the FTC will require transparency from companies that collect user information under DATA.

In 2015, the Consumer Right Act (CRA) has been passed by the Parliament to provide further protection and guidelines for consumers. One of the aims of the Act is to provide remedies for consumers when they receive faulty goods or the goods that no longer meet their needs. Under section 20(4), it “entitles the consumer to reject the goods and treat the contract as at and end.” Also, under section 20(7) (a), it entitles the consumers to exercise the “short-term rights” to reject the goods while section 22(3) outlines the standard period for exercising the rights is 30 days as suggested by the Law Commission. However, there is criticism that standard period of 30 days is inflexible. Therefore, the following paragraphs will analyse whether the 30 days is a suitable time limit for the rejection and whether the standard period that set by the law is flexible or not.
