Crony Capitalism

Bigger Pie Forum is opposed to Mississippi's crony capitalism environment among businesses thriving not as a result of risks they take, but rather as a return on money amassed through a nexus between a business class and the political class. BPF seeks to expose these practices providing transparency for Mississippi's citizens.

Mini Mills, DeepSeek, and Amazon’s Data Centers

by Kelley Williams Published February 6, 2025 In 1969, Nucor opened its first mini steel mill in Darlington, SC. Its small electric furnaces produced steel from scrap cheaper and faster than the big integrated mills’ blast furnaces could from iron ore. Nucor disrupted the steel industry. Today, it’s the largest and most diversified steel company in North America, with a $45 billion market cap. Mini mills now account for 70% of all steel produced in the U.S. Former industry giant U.S. Steel has only two integrated mills left, a market cap of $8 billion, and is seeking to be acquired. Sic transit gloria.
