Extract

We see our large manufacturing industries getting bigger and bigger and our economic theory getting weaker and weaker. When a corporation controls more wealth than most countries in the world, it makes us uncomfortable. When some companies are large enough to spend millions of dollars exploring the Alaskan oil fields, while other companies struggle to maintain their business, inequalities, imagined or real, are present, which go against our “common-sense nature.”
