Excerpt from Direct Legislation by the People Mr. Kirkup, in his Inquiry into Social ism, after Observing that the decisive fact in the social development of modern times is the growth Of democracy, adds: This de mocracy, as we are all aware, is being formed and moulded under a set of conditions which are a new thing in the history of the world. Since 1848, it has received political power, and it has begun to pass through the elementary school in all lands. Besides being drilled into industrial armies in the large factory and rail way system, it forms the vast national armies of the new military system. In a word, the school, the press, the new industrial system, and the new military system have all combined to instruct and organize the modern democ racy, and thus to create a colossal force, which has already begun to take a considerable part in the affairs Of men. In the gigantic electoral contests which continually occur in every civil ized country, in the great labor struggles which never cease, this democracy is coming to know its strength.

With the advent of new and more sophisticated information technologies, businesspersons have more opportunities to interact and exchange information with their competitors. In this climate of free-flowing information, it is essential that businesspersons are aware of the legal implications of engaging in information exchanges whether in the form of an industry association questionnaire or electronic mail. The Section of Antitrust Law of the American Bar Association has developed this general guide to the law of information exchange to aid non-antitrust lawyers' and business managers' understanding of when and how the antitrust laws apply to information exchanges. It is written primarily to help businesspersons to understand the risks and comply with the law. This primer is not a substitute for legal advice but, rather, is offered as background to help spot issues so that advice may be sought from an experienced attorney. The booklets are about the size of a pocket journal and have a space on the back to identify the law firm or company and contact counsel. They are available singly and, at substantial discounts, in convenient packs of 25 copies each.
