    The republican party has been pro big business since the late 1800s. As the other person has mentioned, you can see the parties’ modern economic stances by the 1930s. The Civil Rights movement just shifted them to the Business and Racism party.

      Yeah, from what I can tell, pre-Nixon Republicans were basically libertarians, and pre-Nixon Democrats were basically whatever the opposite of that is, although they were both moderate to near-indistinguishability at times.
