Just make a hierarchy of businesses and control the business on top? I don't think you'll be able to find a couple of simple rules that can't easily be dodged.

  It's easy to verify if a subsidiary is only working for the interests of a parent company. You could quickly and promptly dissolve any company that was convicted of doing so.

    What if it's only partially working for the parent company? More generally, there's a more simple way of converting money to power: Employment. As long as you have freedom of contract, you can pay somebody money to do stuff for you.

      > you can pay somebody money to do stuff for you. Yeah, but you can't tell them they can only get money from you, to do things that are in your interest. Your competitor is free to bid for their time/services/products as well. As long as the company is not working exclusively in the interest of any single customer (in this case, the "parent" company), it's fine by me.
