So all the suffering in the world is the fault of giant corporations? How giant do they have to be to go from being the building blocks of capitalism to breaking it?


Obviously not all. You know how english is with these words.

There's a gradient. The point at which there's no point in going up against them is definitely too far. Competition is important to a healthy capitalist economy.


And yet I'm unclear on where any of the big tech companies have a lock on their market such that there's no point in competing with them. Google has huge market share in search, but Bing and DDG and others are still competing.
