What I wish for

1)No aggressive Theodoro Rossevelt Anti Trust campaign.
2)JP.Morgan and the other big business continue to run like they did the late 1800s.
3)Delay the federal reserve.
4)Continue the age of megacorporations.


How would it happen?

Trust-busting started before Teddy, so it's possible that you might need to either water down or avoid the Sherman Act (1890) first. Big money might need to increase lobbying even further than it already did, though that might provoke a reaction against it (as it did IOTL).

Delay the federal reserve, maybe delay or water down the financial crises that lead to it being established.

A delayed progressivism from an assassinated Teddy back when he was VP and then a few more conservative presidents could work. By that point, the means for more secretive lobbying and donations, which would cement corporate interests as a driving elite hyperpluralism behind American government.

sounds familiar....
 
You might have to go back to the Compromise of 1877--instead of choosing RBH, the compromise could be Tilden as President and William Wheeler as VP, and a one person GOP majority in the Cabinet. With Tilden as President and leader of the Dems, especially if he wins reelection in 1880, perhaps there will be no rise of WJB-style populism and no trust-busting. The other butterflies, though....
