For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

Walmart is a good choice... but I see them slipping right now. They are still trying to get a grip on their target audience, while other retailers are nipping at their heels.
Some people just don't like the "walmart experience"...Keep on Civin'

A good railroad could be in the money, however they never coalesced into a monolith. Collectively, yes. But not as a whole.
But then again, neither did Ford. However, Ford did lead industry into a new way of doing things and utilising labour. Not to mention what he did for the labourers.(\__/)

I believe that. A small portion of our constitutional history is based purely on rail roads. They had to promise BC a rail link or no go. Hense the drive to the west. I won't complain. They needed consumers along the way so they drove the settlement along the prairies and a couple of promising provinces popped up as a consequence.(\__/)

Ming, but there was a period, in the mid 20th century, that the US government was less dependant on big bussiness than now. At least this is the impression I get as an outsider. Of course the US government was once more "in touch" with corporations. That's a well-known fact.Comment

Bah. Changing the way people live? Small potatoes! Proper corporations control the fates of entire countries. Like United Fruit.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

Another worthy contender.

Built the Comet, the first jet powered passenger airliner. This was a catalyst of the mass international travel and commerce (through tourism) that we have today.Comment

That's an odd thing to say about a corporation who had a quarter-trillion in retail sales last FY. Seems to me that they know their target market pretty well.Originally posted by Ming

In terms of long-term influence, I wouldn't have Wal-Mart #1 among even American retailers - Sears has a better claim to that throne, imho.Comment
