RE: I am a dyed in the wool capitalist but everything has reasonable limits that when exceeded become evil.


This brings upo the question ...

How would we know if a company’s size is on the threshold of “reasonable limits”?

And if we can answer the above, how do we scale the limit back to what is “reasonable”?

You pose a great question SeakAndFind. It would seem to be much easier to spot an over sized anything after it has exerted undo influence so it might require a reactive approach rather than a pro-active approach.

The fact remains, very few entities remain a positive influence on society as they become larger.

We know the founders designed a LIMITED government but no percentage of government vs private sector.

There are limits on media outlet ownership in a given market.

There are monopoly limits on business but not on government. Maybe that would be a starting point.
