Made something for anti-corporatists

[Jargon]

I made a table of Morgan corporatist cabinets and figured some of you might find it convenient. I tried to only use people that were directly related to the Morgan dynasty, as in people who were Morgan partners or US steel partners, etc. As you can see I had to include some vital names which were slightly more indirectly related. If anyone wants to use it to make a visual, I would be pleased. Also, keep in mind that Col. House’s early historical society “The Inquiry” was a precursor to CFR. I know the list isn’t perfect and modifications/suggestions are also welcome. The table also only covers presidential cabinet heads and doesn’t extend to other subagencies.

Good job, my dear fellow! This will be vital in my critique of the supposedly laissez-faire Gilded Age

[Jargon]

Important Note:

Rothbard writing on T Roosevelt’s Secretary of Treasury Leslie M. Shaw:

Shaw himself, later to be secretary of the treasury under Theodore Roosevelt, was a small-town banker in Iowa, and president of the Bank of Denison throughout his term as governor. More important in Shaw’s outlook and career was the fact that he was a long-time close friend and loyal supporter of the Des Moines Regency, the Iowa Republican machine headed by the powerful Senator William Boyd Allison.

Allison, who was to obtain the Treasury post for his friend, was in turn tied closely to Charles E. Perkins, a close Morgan ally, president of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad, and kinsman of the powerful Forbes financial group of Boston, long tied in with the Morgan interests (Rothbard 1984, pp. 95–96).

Leslie Shaw placed Treasury funds as the reserves in large national banks, creating a miscoordination of time preferences between consumers and producers. It’s hard to fit convoluted descriptions such as these in tables like the ones above.

Corporatist Crossovers shown via Venn Diagrams

[Wheylous]

Phaedros - you have made my life worthless again. One more Standard Oil source I am compelled to read. Thank you very much.

There are two options right now in my mind:

1. Rockefeller built SO through free market means (despite help from tairffs and patents) but turned evil to make the Fed

2. Rockefeller used the state in both cases

Either way, option 3 is wayyyy off the table:

3. The free market created an evil Standard Oil.

[Wheylous]

Got some dirt on Bush 2 and Bush 3 (Obama)?

[Minarchist]

Thanks Jargon, this is helpful.

[Jargon]

it’s by no means a comprehensive list. just what I could find on wikipedia, I’m sure there’s more.

[shackleford]

Who else do you guys expect to fill those positions?

[Jargon]

Do you have a point?

[shackleford]

Of course, I do. Do you expect the local high school P.E. teacher to be appointed to those positions? I would expect people in powerful positions in industry to be appointed to such posts. Now, when it’s the same few companies, then that reeks of cronyism/corporatism. However, in general, I would expect to see people from industry in the cabinet. I’d rather see them than academics.

[Jargon]

Now, when it’s the same few companies, then that reeks of cronyism/corporatism.

Did you not read the list?

[shackleford]

@Jargon

Now, when it’s the same few companies, then that reeks of cronyism/corporatism.

Did you not read the list?

Of course, I did. I understand that there’s been a lot of that in the U.S., especially since the early 1900s. I’m just wondering if you guys would be less concerned if there were variety in where those people came from.

[Jargon]

Yes I would be much less concerned if there were variety and I’d also be less concerned if there weren’t a direct conflict of interest, as there is in the corporate/government turnstile.

[shackleford]

@Jargon

Yes I would be much less concerned if there were variety and I’d also be less concerned if there weren’t a direct conflict of interest, as there is in the corporate/government turnstile.

That’s simply a product of the tax code being manipulated and the corporate welfare from Congress. What a mess the system has become.

[Jargon]

Not only the power to tax and/or bail-out, but the power to regulate, subsidize, price-fix, license, etc. There is no shortage of options available to the cartelist.
