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. -

What freedom is all about -
“We” didn’t need to bust them. It was already happening as a natural course. The government came late to the party, after enabling near monopolies and pretended to DO SOMETHING.RaceBannon said:

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.”
