Of course. Trust-busting has always been part of liberalism. The idea of liberalism has always been to avoid monopolies, which government is just one form of.

Of course. Trust-busting has always been part of liberalism. The idea of liberalism has always been to avoid monopolies, which government is just one form of. The government’s role should be reduced to the minimum, police-army-justice-currency, and even the last one is up for a debate. So the government’s role is to stay small, and make companies stay small enough. Unfortunately this flew away in 2001 wehn Microsoft had been condemned, but not sentenced, because after 9/11, USA needed their companies to reign upon the rest of the world. Maybe time has come to admit that US reigning on the rest of the world hurt the domestic market with too-large-monopolies, and maybe it is time to come back to a competition market.
