Today it is not big business that we have to fear. It is big

Summary

This quote suggests that currently, the main concern is not large corporations or businesses exerting too much control or influence, but rather the potential dangers associated with an overly powerful and intrusive government. It highlights the idea that a government with too much authority and reach poses a greater threat to society and individual freedoms than big businesses do. It implies a shift in focus from the private sector to the public sector as the primary source of potential harm and misuse of power.
