How business economics leads to bigger government.
The words have changed but the idea is basically the same.
Public schools were created to serve the needs of industry.
The national highway system likewise was to serve industry.
Big cities like New York City grew to serve commerce and you can't have a big city without city government to manage and coordinate the many daily activities. 1) Fire department 2) police dept. 3) health dept. 4) building department etc..
Ford's assembly line led to numerous motor vehicles and as they became more numerous we needed a Motor Vehicle Department
The Federal Aviation Administration was needed as air travel became more common.
It seems like big business and big government go hand in hand. All the above agencies were needed to facilitate business.
And last but not least we have the Affordable Care Act which will eventually lead to a single payer system. But that may require a lot of explanation.
