- At the end of the 1930s, the main cement producers in Europe decided to come together to limit competition in the exports. The first cartel was short-lived due to the outbreak of the Second World War, a second cartel was formed in 1949 under the name Cembureau. In the chapter, special attention is drawn to one of the members, Sweden. The Swedish cement industry was organised in a long-lived, all-embracing and successful cartel. Sweden was one of the countries that pushed for European export cooperation. Exports were of great importance for cement producers and by regulating international exports, the cement companies achieved secure markets. But, the international cartel agreement also limited the actions of each country, so they could not sell freely. The international cartel affected the organisation of the national market and vice versa. The European cartel was influenced by the Swedish cartel, there are similarities in the setup and Cembureau was located in Sweden with Swedish management until the mid-1960s. The cartels on the national and European levels benefitted from each other and became stronger together.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The technological improvements to computing, mobile communications and the rise of the internet since the 1960s has been reminiscent of the technological changes that accompanied the second industrial revolution. Among the many economic opportunities, innovations and firms that were involved in that revolution, some individual companies. In October 2020, the US committee on the Judiciary presented its report on the dominance of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google and their business practices. With technological and political change frequently comes the opportunity for economic and political power to become concentrated in the hands of a few. Governments and citizens who wish to retain open and innovative societies need to ensure their legal, political and economic frameworks allow economic and political power is being shared among many.
