The Dig podcast just posted a fascinating discussion of the roots of neoliberalism talking about the binding of nations in favor of nameless market structures. There is a discussion of Hayek seeing a ideal of people making independent decisions, but essentially bound by market constraints in a way that makes the system operate smoothly. I don't think there was the anticipation of the rollup of large corporate entities in this kind of vision - at least not to the scale that they start pulling on the fabric of the system leading to instability.
