Florida Association of Insurance Agents
From Cartels to Competition
 | FAIA 100 Year Anniversary Publication |
In the early 1800s America's first insurance trades were rising out of chaos. They were local boards of independent agents-their birth encouraged by insurers craving order and consistency for rates and underwriting gone amuck. Later, before and long after America's antitrust laws, carriers cannibalized each other, and often through their cartels, turned on their own agents.
