Paper Abstract:
Reviews the federal government's role in the US economy from 1887 to the 1990s.

Paper Introduction:
The issue of how to control one's competitors legally became of paramount importance to business in the late nineteenth century and has continued to be of concern from the Progessive Era through the Great Society. Even during the post-Civil War period, state and federal governments were becoming deeply involved in the functioning of the economy. They encouraged economic development by underwriting the expansion of transportation systems, selling cheaply large blocks of land, and setting up tax incentives, zoning, and rules of corporate governance. But government intervention changed after 1887 with the advent of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). New policies emerged at all levels of government as the size and scale of business increased. However their emergence of a national economy implied that only the federal government could create rules for corporations (Fligstein, 1990).
