Fantastic write up of how Reagan destroyed the American middle class by allowing corporations to behave badly.

For example:
"Before Reagan, CEOs who executed share buybacks just to artificially inflate stock prices could go to prison.
FDR criminalized share buybacks in the early 1930s because they’re simply a form of stock price manipulation and were one of the main reasons for the stock market crash of 1929 that kicked off the Republican Great Depression."
