Consumers and voters. Basically, the people, ideally. But we know it doesn't always work that way. But the larger the government, the less likely the people are in charge. Think about, the bigger the government, more taxes, more chances for corruption, and mismanagement. Big corporations still have influence, but in the end they want consumers' money, so they answer to the consumer. Ideally, but not always.

Robling is right. With smaller government, there is more freedom for the individual in the society. This also means there is more responsibility on the individual in the society to provide for themselves. Corporations would not "be in charge" any more than they are now. They are subservient to their stockholders, it aforementioned individuals. The only reason government is large is an attempt to take individual responsibility from away and place it on the "government". This stifles creativity and ambition in the individual and results in an "entitlement mentality" which causes stagnation in the society.
