But concern over what Louis Brandeis called the "curse of bigness" can no longer remain the province of specialist lawyers and economists, for it has spilled over into policy and politics, even threatening democracy itself. History suggests that tolerance of inequality and failing to control excessive corporate power may prompt the rise of populism, nationalism, extremist politicians, and fascist regimes. In short, as Wu warns, we are in grave danger of repeating the signature errors of the twentieth century. In The Curse of Bigness, Columbia professor Tim Wu tells of how figures like Brandeis and Theodore Roosevelt first confronted the democratic threats posed by the great trusts of the Gilded Age--but the lessons of the Progressive Era were forgotten in the last 40 years. He calls for recovering the lost tenets of the trustbusting age as part of a broader revival of American progressive ideas as we confront the fallout of persistent and extreme economic inequality."--Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Antitrust law $z United States. 650 0 $a Antitrust investigations $z United States $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic conditions $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Income distribution $z United States $x History. 941 $a 6 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230503012235.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217025438.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20190124010428.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20181206010224.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20181204012132.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20181129010141.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6E93FEC2F3A411E8AE43740197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
