The problem with the modern economy is that companies can become “too successful” using underhanded and ethically questionable practices. They influence the government to pass laws that can strengthen their hold or eliminate competition entirely. They hide behind a wall of government when it is convenient and act like angels when the people want the government to break them up.

I don’t know what the answer is, but rewarding corruption and discouraging success are not feasible in the long term. Both arguments above seem legitimate.

The United States has been breaking up monopolies longer than China has been the CCP.

We still haven’t become an authoritarian government like China.

The history of labor rights in the US should indicate just how bad things will get if companies aren't curtailed.
