In 1864 Abraham Lincoln could see a serious problem emerging

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes
me to tremble for the safety of my country . . . Corporations have been
enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money
power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the
prejudices of people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the
Republic is destroyed." Abraham Lincoln, 1864
