For my research paper, I want to find out more about the history of monopolies, why they were created and what effects they have had on consumers.

In 1936, American Airlines created an Air Travel plan, with which if you put down a $425 deposit, an Air Travel card allowed a “buy now, pay later” system which also gave travellers a 15% discount (Flight).
