Size & Efficiency. There was once a doctrine, fostered by New Dealers and pre-New Dealers such as Justice Louis Dembitz (The Curse of Bigness) Brandeis, that bigness kills competition, results in high prices, low production and shady business practices. This notion is untrue today, argued Slichter: "As a matter of fact, the reverse is probably true." Because of their size, big companies are constantly in the public eye, watched over by competitors, suppliers, customers and Government officials. At times, big companies get advantages in the form of discounts and rebates because they have big orders to place, and occasionally they...
...rising young corporation lawyer, Louis Dembitz Brandeis helped in 1903 to put together Boston's United Shoe Machinery Corp. A combine of the three biggest companies in the business, United held more than 300 basic patents, and about 60 per cent of its line was made by no one else. By leasing and refusing to sell its machines, it was able to dominate the shoe-machine market; some 85% of all machines used in U.S. shoe factories were leased from United. Brandeis, later Supreme Court Justice, came to regret some of the company's practices. But the Justice...

It is a calm, wide, sometimes rather hazy look at the democratic vista from where Dos Passos now stands, at a position close to that of the late Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis-champion of the individual, implacable foe of organized Bigness. The book presents-as an imaginary series of movie-illustrated lectures followed by questions from the audiences-a series of reports on countries Dos Passos has visited recently (Britain, Argentina, Chile) and on recent happenings in the U.S. The lecturer-audience exchanges, which seem...
Actually the turnout was a compliment not only to Poets Cummings and Auden, but to year-old Brandeis (named for the late great Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis) as well. Each week, people had been coming from Harvard and Wellesley, from Boston and other nearby towns, to attend Brandeis' new Institute of Adult Education. For so new a university, ambitious little Brandeis was attracting more than its share of attention...
Left. By the late Louis Dembitz Brandeis, retired Supreme Court Justice: $3,178,495, most of it in bonds. His will, one of the most complicated ever filed in Washington, gave his widow a trust fund of about $400,000, each of his two daughters trusts of about $200,000. Among other bequests, gifts aggregating $1,000,000 to: University of Louisville; Survey Associates, Inc. "for the maintenance of civil liberty and . . . workers' education"; to the Palestine Endowment, and Hadassah-the last two for the development of Palestine as a national home for the Jews...
