To implement it, he conceived of something he calls the "mini-multiple" -reproductions that are identical with his expensive cast bronzes except for size and material. A 5¼ inch nickel Mini-David (one of 9,500) sells for $75 and is a perfectly duplicated cast of the original 11½ inch David, which sells for $6,000.

While he does not necessarily believe that "bigness is badness," he insists that in the case of conglomerates size alone is potentially anticompetitive. Therefore, he is not likely to miss an opportunity to challenge "giant acquisitions" even if no actual restraint of trade is involved. This action, he believes, would tend to retard such possible abuses of economic power as reciprocity. He fears, for example, that a huge diversified company...
