a better product, but at what cost? laying off workers
in favor of automated machinery(and I'm not
anti-technology at all)? The use of cheap foreign
labor and/or sweat shops? having a barnes and nobles
and/or a starbucks on every block? And, on the other
hand, I have to say that big business doesn't always
mean a better product, just a product with more mass
appeal: top forty music, hollywood hype movies, etc....

I worked in construction for 17 years. I have no illusions about
businessmen. Construction workers are dog meat to construction companies,
chewed up and spit out for profit. When work is slow they're treated extra
badly.
But when business is booming? Then pay rates go up, benefits get better, and
you get better treatment because they have a hard enough time finding help,
much less keeping the help they have when anyone can go to the contractor
down the street and get another dollar an hour. The point is that when
businesses are rich, everyone is rich. So long as the businesses are in real
competition with each other.
