    I’m not sure if that’s true or not, but it would make sense.

    Look at our current situation. If we wanted to enrich the already wealthy and impoverish the poor and middle class, our beloved humanitarian overlords picked the perfect economic policy. Quantitative easing has, since the depths of the 2008 financial crisis, sent the stock market up 150%, with 80% of that new “wealth” going to the top 10% of earners. Everyone else gets rising prices and an absence of firms to compete for their labor.

    In your essay Theodore Roosevelt and the Modern Presidency, you explain how the NSC was a trust between the Hill-Morgan lines (great northern & northern pacific) designed to cement their cooperation and prevent Harriman from gaining control of Northern Pacific.

    I suppose Dom Armentano’s book would help clarify this, since that’s your source in the essay for that case.
