Neoliberals have been unrelenting in their quest to jettison business regulation and restore the market as it was during the McKinley administration. They are such idiots--DLC and Republicans alike--as to not comprehend that regulation was introduced by the first progressives in order to save capitalism during a time when Marx's criticisms of capitalist production and social costs were literally bloody apparent. The alternative to regulation, as they saw it, was revolution. Without regulation, business ethics are set by the most corrupt instead of by the socially conscientious.
