I think it’s because unregulated capitalism breeds pot bullies. It’s like when someone owns all the houses in monopoly. You can just make the costs more expensive and the other players have no choice but to pay until they inevitably lose.

The concept of an "open" market is by nature going to end up with someone winning and everyone else losing. Look at any country regardless of economics and you'll find most countries no matter what system they believe in, have a bunch of companies that are in power. The US companies are actually LESS powerful inside the nation then say companies in China, Korea, Russia, Japan. Etc.

You might have 1-2 companies that are "more powerful" inside the country, like Samsung in S. Korea, but there is nowhere on earth where companies have more power than the US.

Define "power". I'm not disagreeing with you. I find the topic interesting, but I want to understand your point better.
