I'm curious to hear what other people have to say about this.
1900s
noun
the decade from 1900 to 1909
if you are talking about the 20th century, from the gdp and federal debt graphs it looks to be 1979..
but I think 1900s means 1900 to 1909.
1996
America was full of dreams and optimism.
i'm sure there we're multiple periods where america was mighty and strong
best year i dunno...
I know that abraham lincoln seemed to be a really stand up guy
No way, we lost the illusion of America's greatness during Vietnam & Nixon, arguably Korea. Carter was our last best hope for regaining some of that, and he was hustled outta office, leading to the 80's & Reagan, with the 90's just a sham in continuation of the woes, to what Bush???
You've got to go with the post-war high of WWII when America started to come out of it's shell with the defeat of 'evil'... 1950's would have to be the best era for America during that century. Pre-WWII wasn't anything great in America for sure.
We had the boom in technology, coming out of the War as the preeminent power, still had hope & idealism... the entire world was at our heels.
How Corporations Influence the Government
© Marc A Triebwasser, 1998
Part Two of the book, which covers Chapters 2, 3, and 4, deals with how corporations influence the government. Part Three, which consists of Chapters 5, 6, and 7, discusses how corporations affect us directly. Part Two is a little easier to understand because the concept of corporations influencing the government is a familiar one. In general, corporations influence government through campaign contributions, through lobbying, and through captured regulatory agencies. Although this is not always emphasized in American Government texts, this influence is certainly a common theme in many political discussions. In Part Three, we talk about how corporations affect us directly. This concept is not difficult to understand, but it involves ideas with which we unfortunately may be far less familiar...
