All governments are slowly and inexorably moving towards a synthetic mix of capitalism and socialism. The problem in the US is _unfettered_ capitalism, which has metastasized into an attempt to capture the ENTIRE vertical stack of any business enterprise. That's the whole play of VC money today: find a segment of the economy to monopolize, run everyone else out, and then extract ALL the profits, from top to bottom. In my opinion, we need GDP-adjusted limits on how large a company can be, in several different dimensions.
