Why did government officials allow monopolies to operate without strong regulations during the gilded age

History

BigorU [14]3 years ago

The main reason why the government allowed monopolies to operate without strong regulations during the Gilded Age was because they believed that the proliferation of monopolies was good for the American economy. They believed that these big businesses were more likely to bring wealth into the country, and they did not pay attention to the many problems that monopolies can bring to an economy.

What evidence does zinn offer to support his assertion that "colonies, it seems, were societies of contending classes"? why is t
Roman55 [17]
In his book, A People's History of the United States, Howard Zinn cites examples from US colonial history of the gap between rich and poor in colonial life.  
A key study cited by Zinn examined tax registers from Boston, showing that the top 1% of the population held 25% of the wealth in 1687, and that by 1770, the top 1% of property owners in Boston owned 44% of the wealth.  The study also noted that the bulk of Boston's population were not property owners.  The percentage of adult males in Boston who owned no property doubled between 1687 and 1770 (from 14% to 29%).
Zinn cited additional items, regarding overcrowding of poorhouses (giving a notable example from New York) and a general increase throughout the colonies of the "wandering poor" who had no real means of support.  He also cited examples of workers' strikes against employers in the colonies because of low wages.

Which action occurs in a presidential government but not in parliamentary <br> government
MakcuM [25]

Both presidentialism and parliamentarism are unequivocally democratic, but each of these regimes leads to different political consequences.

The great difference is that in parliamentarism the executive branch is composed of a president or a monarch, head of state, with limited powers, and a government appointed by Parliament, which at any time can censor. In presidentialism, however, the head of state and government coincide in the same person, are not subject to parliamentary censure and the Legislative Branch is limited to the area of law making.

Therefore, in presidentialism, voters elect the head of government (who in turn is head of state); instead, in parliamentarism, the head of government is appointed by the head of state, who is voted by the people.
