At no time in U. S. history do critics of capitalism attract more support than in the period between 1900 and 1914. Although socialists agree on the need for basic structural changes in the economy, they differ widely on the tactics to use. Among the most militant groups is a coalition of radical groups called the Industrial Workers of the World, an organization that seeks to overthrow capitalism. IWW has some initial victories but becomes the target of political repression, and is ultimately broken up. Many reformers agree with the socialists that excessive corporate consolidation is a threat to the nation's economy, and call for more government regulation of big business. Early in the 20th century the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Federal Trade Commission, and the Interstate Commerce Commission are established to keep track of what is going on.
