The People s Masters
Thom Hartmann, Berrett-Koehler Publishers: 'More than two thousand corporations had been chartered between 1790 and 1860. They helped protect themselves from economic disasters by keeping tight control over the economy and the markets within which they operated. In this they echoed the Federalist ideas of Alexander Hamilton and John Adams. Many companies deal with competition by working hard to earn our business, just as Adam Smith - whose 1776 book The Wealth of Nations summarized many economic principles for the founders of this nation - envisioned. But others don t; they feel that the best way to deal with competition is to eliminate it. And, as the East India Company had shown, two ways to do so were by getting the government to grant a monopoly or special tax favors or by crushing or buying out one s competition.'
