This from Murray Rothbard. Long essay explains, in part, how things got to be the way they are. Here is the opener:

More than any other single period, World War I was the critical watershed for the American business system. It was a "war collectivism," a totally planned economy run largely by big-business interests through the instrumentality of the central government, which served as the model, the precedent, and the inspiration for state corporate capitalism for the remainder of the twentieth century.

all of it here:

War Collectivism in World War I by Murray N. Rothbard
