The History Channel had a series on the Men Who Made America - aka robber barons in today's lingo. It was fair and it left me wondering as it left off at the turn of the 20th Century and trust busing Teddy if the systems that were put in place in the 19th century - steel, rail, oil etc, would be possible under the overwhelming government we have today. Obviously not
The genius of America and why I reject the whining and crying of dumbfuck socialists is the middle way we navigated the change from agrarian to industrial society and built the greatest standard of living in the history of the world
So I'm not going to sit here and listen to people bad mouth the US of A

Are you implying America had a small government through their most prosperous times?

We have the modern equivalent in tech today. Monopolies in steel and oil and rail developed the industries and provided the capital so that we could bust them later. Same with Gates, Apple and the rest.
I would say that the 19th century monopolies ended up good for America in the long game. It wasn't like people were picking daises and tweeting all day. Life was hard. It got easier.
Government regulation is the ultimate monopoly and only available to the highest bidder. -

Standard oil already had lost 35% of their market share before the Sherman Anti Trust act was passed.
“ Furthermore, and also in contradiction to monopoly theory, Standard Oil’s share of the market had declined from close to 90 percent in the late 1800s to about 65 percent at the time of the court’s ruling.”

The same is true with child labor. There was a time when huge numbers of families needed their kids to work as a matter of survival. Life and death. Especially in farming. Their was no outrage because so many needed to do it. As the nation prospered the need diminished greatly and child labor dropped. It got to the point where those who didn’t need their kids to work had their sensibilities offended by those who did and as those numbers grew the demand was for the government to DO SOMETHING. So they did, again late the party, but more than willing to take credit. Everyone felt better about themselves. The real hero was capitalism that created enough wealth those who didn’t need kids to work reached a critical mass. Make no mistake, no one would have said shit if the majority of people were starving and needed all hands on deck.RaceBannon said:
