America has the biggest economy, big passions, big ideas and big innovations. There's nothing wrong with that kind of big. The problem is with Big institutions ("Bigs") whose interests are misaligned with the people, and trample on individuals and their needs.
This bigness of Bigs always takes on a life of its own. Its power and money always corrupt. Big's philosophy, like cancer, is to grow for growth's sake, creating huge and frightening monsters that dominate American life.
Big government, big money, big business, big labor, big lobbies, and big military, which have combined to dictate our public life
Big food, big medicine, big education, and big legal, which have collaborated to control our personal life
Big media, big tech, big churches, and big entertainment, which have taken on such an overwhelming role in our social life.
The author tells us what we can do to take our lives back from the 14 Bigs. We can cut the Bigs down to size. Our size. Human scale.
