Amazon and landlords exert more power over the day to day life of Americans. The government exists at the edges, or hold a monopoly on violence so that Amazon doesn't have to hire mercenaries. Companies end up owning markets when there's no regulation. Look at the Bell System. Look at Amazon if you want to sell products. Look at every single uneconomic locally owned store or farm. The natural effect of free market capitalism is monopolies.
