The Big Cannot Be Free
Ever since the Revolution, Americans have been contending against monopoly, the Bigness of Business, a fight which has been carried on by Jefferson and Jackson, by Lincoln and Cleveland, by T.R., Woodrow Wilson, and F.D. R. Yet “the Biggest in the World” has become our national boast, and we have emerged from the Second World War with American corporations and American labor unions more powerful than ever in our history. Bigness is often inefficient and usually unnecessary, argues this nationally known engineer, the author of Brass Tacks and The American Way.
