I'd say a better formula is needed to figure out when a company has gotten too big and needs to be capped or split. Once a company get's to a certain size, it's no longer about profits for living, it's simply about longevity and power. Buy up the competition so nobody can legitimately compete in your sector, and use your wealth and power to control as many other sectors as possible. Including politics. This typically leads to a god complex where the leaders of these corporations decide to take it upon themselves to reshape things the way they see fit, good or bad, but most of the time it turns out bad. This is why it's better off to keep companies smaller than larger and to keep sectors as competitive as possible. The problem starts with politics. Corps and Gov should be kept separate period, other than in the worst case scenario's like a pandemic where people are dropping like flies, or world war. As long as politicians can be bought off one way or another, this problem will continue and get worse. There also needs to be a cap where corporations can only grow so large. Either cap them or make them split so they can grow again if they wish. |
Yeah, I agree. What you say basically leads to some form of reform. And yes, corporations and politics should be separate (like also religion and politics).
