What would have been the implications of crushing "joint stock" corporations? The landed class would have retained the majority of wealth and industrial innovation would have been significantly stunted. Maybe for some, that is a bucolic image. Considering, however, that industrialization led to tremendous economic opportunity and rising standards of living, I am thankful not to be a sod buster in the Dakotas as were my great grandparents.
I like indoor plumbing.
