Obviously, there were a lot of rich sensible Englishmen who felt entitled to such privilege. Just as today many rich sensible Americans feel entitled to privilege foreign corporations to equal status with US government policies that Americans rely on for safe food and a clean environment.Any sensible person would be opposed to such a grant of privilege.
It was Waite's history that was important, from the colonization period that belied your statement that regulation began with FDR.
Between 2003 and 2012 stock buybacks comprised 54% of corporate profits which could have gone to higher wages or increased investment in plants and equipment or in public investment such as infrastructure, all of which would have increased consumer demand.Your belief that profits would have gone to wages is totally unfounded.

That is one reason wages stay low.On reason wages are staying down is the fact that we are importing all kinds of low wage competition. That includes competition for high tech jobs. There are millions of Indians working here on H1-Bs. These people depress the wages that technical people can earn.
Here's another:
"“Wal-Mart has spent [over ten years] more than$65.4 billion on stock buybacks — about 47 percent of its profits. That’s an average of more than $6.5 billion a year in stock buybacks, enough to give each of its 1.4 million U.S. workers a $4,670-a-year raise.
"It is also, coincidentally, an amount roughly equivalent to the estimated $6.2 billion Wal-Mart costs U.S. taxpayers every year in food stamps, Medicaid, subsidized housing, and other public assistance to its many impoverished employees.”

" Free markets are decidedly about distributing economic powerunequally. They allow us to vest the power to direct labor and resources with those who provide us with the goods and services we want and need. It's hard to see that as an inherently bad thing."Special Ed..... please.
The catch is that unequal power counters free markets.
How so? To be clear, I'm talking about economic power, not state power.
Those who gain economic power through free markets eventually take over. Hence, robber barons followed by Wall Street and the Fed, etc.
All of them? Huh? What do you mean 'take over'?
governments were created to ensure public control over the monopoly of power,
dear, govts are monopolies and as such out Founders thought them the source of evil in human history and that was without seeing the great 20Century liberal monopolists: Hitler Stalin and Mao.
Now do you understand?
You are proposing libertarian goals and a pure capitalist model that goes against the will of the population,
dear, the American revolution was opposed or ignored by 2/3 of the population.
Those who gain economic power through free markets eventually take over. Hence, robber barons followed by Wall Street and the Fed, etc.
dear, the Fed Chairman is usually a college professor appointed by the president and approved by Congress and supported intellectually by most college economics professors.
Society has decided the power over the natural monopoly of violence is best controlled through government working in the best interests of all its citizens.

Welcome to your first lesson in American History!! See why we say liberalism is based in pure ignorance??

The Fed is a private consortium controlled by commercial banks. It also operates independently of the government.
Link?All foreign corporations are compelled to follow American laws regarding safe food

Liberal monopolists? Capitalists ruled the roost, starting with robber barons, then capitalists, and now financial investors in mega-corporations.
