You make no mention of Teddy Roosevelt's trust busting. In an age where much elective governance exists under the shadow of huge and powerful corporations, most of which have arrived at their situation by sequential mergers and take-overs., the issue of excessive corporate power scarcely figures in any conservative thought process.
It is as if the collapse of Yamaichi Securities in early 1990's Japan opened a sluice gate. Since then we have had one corporate and banking scandal after another, almost nose to tail. We have allowed corporations to grow too big, arrogant, powerful, greedy and corrupt. Teddy Roosevelt was one of the few individuals in history who both understood the threat to democracy posed by over mighty corporations and had the power to act. Where is the new generation of trust busters?
