Gilded Age “robber barons” famously rolled up key industrial markets [...] starting in the 1870s. Andrew Carnegie took command of steel, Cornelius Vanderbilt railroads, William Clark [sic] copper, J. P. Morgan finance, and so on (though most such were involved in several lines of business, and all relied on relationships with financiers).

Dude borrows Ursula Leguin's concept of "Propertarianism" as one of his tent-poles...I'm gonna enjoy this!

" In terms of income, the twenty-six years of growth between 1993 and 2018 have been worse than useless for fully half of all Americans... CEO compensation, for instance, increased by about 1,167 percent between 1978 and 2019, as shown in an analysis from the Economic Policy Institute. Workers, meanwhile, lost out—their incomes grew just 13.7 percent over the same period, and the average ratio between worker and CEO pay grew from 21:1 in 1965 to 31:1 in 1978, 118:1 in 1995, and 320:1 in 2018."
