Make America Gilded Again

The article from Politico discusses the potential economic landscape under a second Trump presidency, drawing parallels to the Gilded Age. It highlights how Trump's policies could further empower corporate giants like those led by Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, potentially leading to an era where big businesses have even more influence over government and economic policy. The piece explores Trump's past admiration for business tycoons, his deregulatory approach, and how these could exacerbate income inequality, reduce worker protections, and favor corporate interests over public welfare. It also touches on the implications of such a shift, including the possible erosion of antitrust enforcement, the rise of monopolistic practices, and the transformation of the American economic structure into one that might resemble the monopolistic tendencies of the late 19th century, where wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of a few.
