CC Progressive Era Support for Regulation in The Public Interest Discussion

 

I’m working on a history multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

For our discussion this week, consider Progressives’ support for regulation in the public interest.

  • What were some of the most important areas where people wanted the federal government to protect them against the power of wealthy corporations?
  • Why?
  • Give some examples for each area.

Where do we need our government to protect the public interest today? The pandemic is one area, right? Health care/power of insurance companies? Other examples?
