During the Progressive Era, public demands for Direct consumer protection resulted in the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act.
The Department of Commerce was instituted as a result of progressive pressure to regulate U.S. business. Established in 1903, its creation aimed to promote economic growth while ensuring fair trade practices and consumer protection.

World War I significantly impacted the Progressive Era by accelerating social and political changes in the United States. The war fostered a sense of national unity and purpose, leading to the expansion of government powers and the implementation of reforms such as the prohibition of alcohol and women's suffrage. Additionally, the war's demands for labor and resources catalyzed movements for workers' rights and social justice, reshaping the Progressive agenda. Ultimately, the war marked a transition from Progressive ideals to a post-war era characterized by both reactionary sentiments and continued reform efforts.

Section 498-A of Indian Penal Code
In the information age, consumers will be a major force in what companies can charge for a product. Basically, they will be setting prices by indicating what they are willing to pay.
