Corwin D. Edwards (born 1 November 1901 in Nevada, Missouri; died 21 April 1979 in Dallas[1][2]) was an American economist.
Edwards delivered in 1944 - in addition to the works of Joseph Borkin, Charles Welsh and Wendell Berge - the third US main pamphlet against international cartels.
[3] The 'gray eminence' behind the campaign appears to have been Thurman Arnold, who had been removed from his post as chief contender (the antitrust division) by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Edward's main concern was state competition policy, which defended consumer interests against big business.
Edwards joined the civil service in 1933,[2] becoming assistant director for consumer affairs at the National Recovery Administration, a New Deal plan authority under Franklin D. Roosevelt.
