New Jersey Corporate Chartermongering, 1875-1929 [Elektronische Daten] [Christopher Grandy] New Jersey played a dominant role in the merger wave at the turn of the century. The state facilitated the rise of large firms by liberalizing its corporation law in exchange for incorporation fees and franchise taxes.
