The International Mercury Cartel, 1928–1954: Controlling Global Supply
本文分析了20世纪上半叶国际汞市场的特征，包括西班牙和意大利生产商之间的市场协议及其有效性，直到苏联和发展中国家供应打破垄断。
This article describes the features of the international mercury market during the first half of the twentieth century. It analyzes the various market agreements made, their effectiveness, and their consequences. The period studied is little understood, although it was one in which mercury production greatly increased. It was also one that saw persistent efforts at market manipulation, owing to a series of agreements between Spanish and Italian producers that proved very effective until the arrival of shipments of mercury produced by Soviet bloc members and by some developing countries.
