Compulsory cartel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A compulsory cartel is a state-ordered and usually also state-controlled amalgamation of companies. Such facilities appeared in all active warring states during the First World War and then increasingly in Europe and Japan in the 1930s. After the Second World War, these organizations were increasingly disbanded.

In compulsory cartels, the self-determination of the entrepreneurs about their common business policy can be so limited that these associations lose the character of a cartel . The steering associations of the Third Reich, for example, no longer had much to do with 'private cartels', but were organized according to the leader principle , essentially hierarchical organizations in the service of a state-controlled economy.
