How do the working people or other groups in society "react" or respond to the growth of big business, laissez-faire capitalism, and industrialization? Are they effective?

In order to answer these questions, consider: the growth of labor unions (Knights of Labor (KOL) and the American Federation of Labor (AFL)), governmental regulation (Sherman Antitrust Act), new political parties (the "Granger" Movement and the People's Party), more "ethical" ways of doing business (Pullman and Carnegie), and others.
