...well-fed voters of little Uruguay (pop. 2.7 million) last week threw out the prolabor, welfare-statist Colorado Party that has ruled the country without interruption for 93 long years. Into power, by a vote of 414,000 to 325,000, went the rightist Nationals...

By declining to provide capital, it could, in theory, check overexpansion, could favor enterprises which the country needed most . . ." But Berle does not believe that the judgment of the market place plays this part in contemporary U.S. capitalism. The modern corporation is strong enough to ignore the judgment of the market. The spectacular fact is that most...
