Or you can just prevent companies from having too much market share within an industry, which we've enforced before and worked pretty well.
Removing the consumer price standard for anti-trust enforcement would go a long way to preventing these huge oligopolies from forming
- njarboe 8y agoIf a company grows organically to have a large market share due to superior product, service, or even luck, don't break them up. But I would say having a dozen serious competitors in a market really prevents a lot of problems. Don't let companies buy each other when it would put the combined company over 10% of the market. Of course this rule can be immediately gamed in many ways but might be able to be done in some decently reasonable way.
