For hundreds of years, this nation did lots of antitrust at the state and sometimes even local level, that should be restored. It was also (and I mean compared to today, I don't mean some kind of Borg Collective type "universal democracy") done at the unmeasurably and unknowably generated directions of a great deal of different interests groups and, despite what they say, sometimes groups of "regular" people who studied issues and sometimes had great successes. It was a democratic republic once, an imperfect one, but an improving one, and by the late 1970s we'd abandoned it for a technocratic dictatorship that has performed far worse.
