I like to study this force as well and I agree with your claim. A degree of centralization appears to be quite useful in the real world.

Recently I've been thinking about modelling an economic system after biological ones. It seems they face a very similar problem of resource allocation. Extreme centralization (think big tech) could be thought of as a form of cancer in this frame. Biology solves this through a limited lifespan of cells. So an economy modelled after it might include something like a lifespan for companies.

I'm interested in what you think on this or if anyone knows exsisting resources on this relationship.
