- Big Business - Monopolies.
- Banking Regulations.
- Big Business Influence in Politics
- Labor Laws.
- Public Health.
- Immigration.

The list is from 1900. All of these issues were addressed in the period between 1900 and 1914 in what is known as the Progressive Era. They came about as issues because of changes in what drove our economy from agrarian to industrial. The changes were made to make the lives of average citizens better. In many cases, they did. We are going through a change again from national and regional to global. The issues above still have relevance.
