When Giants Walk Among Us
We live in an age of corporate titans. A handful of companies-Google, Amazon, Facebook-shape what we see, buy, and believe. Airlines, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications: nearly every industry has consolidated into a few massive players. This isn't happenstance. It's the result of forty years of deliberately weakened antitrust enforcement, recreating the conditions of America's first Gilded Age. The parallels are striking-extreme inequality, corporate dominance, populist fury. History doesn't repeat, but it certainly rhymes.
