ANTITRUST: The generally process of preventing monopoly practices or breaking up monopolies that restrict competition. The term antitrust derives from the common use of the trust organizational structure in the late 1800s and early 1900s to monopolize markets. The most noted example of the use of a monopoly trust was the Standard Oil Trust, controlled by J. D. Rockefeller and dismantled through the Sherman Act in 1911. The creation of similar monopoly trusts led to the several antitrust laws, including the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act.

The notion of general acceptance makes money THE medium of exchange for economic transactions. It must be generally accepted. - Two types of value:
- Value in use (intrinsic value): An item provides satisfaction of wants and needs.
- Value in exchange: An item does not provide satisfaction directly but can be traded for something that does.
- Money may or may not have value in use, but to be a medium of exchange, it must have value in exchange.
Money is an economic lubricant. - Too much money prompts inflationary expansion and too little entices recessionary unemployment.
- The challenge is to maintain the proper balance between too much and too little.
