The Big Business Monster

Big businesses have always been a problem in the United States. They (big businesses) have been around since the late 1800s. The owners of these businesses, also knows as monopolies, always pointed out the m0re positive aspects of the big business, i.e. they will create jobs for the people and everyone will benefit in the end result. Though there are some positive aspects of the big business, the end result is always negative.

"While Lippmann continued to grapple with persistent patterns of corporate
excess, visions of impending social chaos and upheaval - a revolt of the
masses- had begun to modulate these concerns. Images of the people ruling were,
for Lippmann, assuming an air of menace. Ongoing middle-class hostility
toward big business - once understood as a constructive catalyst for
social reform - had now become, to Lippmann's increasingly conservative mind, an
inadvertent stimulus of social disintegration." ( Stuart Ewen,PR!, pg 61)

This problem with the big business still exist today. During this recession we are experiencing we can see the problems in out economic system. The government has bailed out many of out big business, many companies are laying-off people daily, and everything is becoming more expensive but wages stay the same. Though over a century has passed things are still very similar. Will America ever learn?
