But is giving the government even more power really the solution? Nate and Charlie break down the call for another Teddy Roosevelt and argue that the very institutions designed to control powerful corporations helped create the incentives behind today's corporate-government relationship. They dig into Roosevelt's view of executive power, railroad regulation that protected companies from competition, antitrust enforcement, the early framework that led toward the Federal Reserve, and the growth of federal control over drugs, food, and meat processing. The recurring question is simple: if government becomes the gatekeeper to running a successful business, where are corporations going to spend their money and influence? The guys also get into the absurdities of trucking regulations, government-created railroad monopolies, USDA meat-processing rules, and why another government agency probably isn't fixing government corruption.
