It is opined that it is too early to gauge the long-term effects of the September 11 terrorists attacks on the American economy. It's safe to assume that mergers will take place. The only question is whether the economic downturn that marked the first half of 2001 and has now entrenched itself will slow down the trend toward ever-larger conglomerates or whether, on the contrary, the increasing economic pressures will force even further amalgamations and greater cutbacks. Everywhere, publishers and booksellers have debated the issues raised by the mergers and have sought differing and new solutions.
