Answer to Question 1

In theory, attempts to monopolize an industry mean a firm is trying to become a monopoly. In practice, attempts to monopolize an industry are more difficult to define and are a matter of interpretation by the courts. The rule of reason seemed to say that size alone doesn't constitute an attempt to monopolize as in the 1920 U.S. Steel case. But the rule of reason was overturned when size did matter as in the 1945 Alcoa case. Even in more recent cases, it is difficult to predict what the court will define as an attempt to monopolize. Decisions continue to be divided in this area of the law.
