Large mergers, buy outs, monopoly's and oligopoly
This is by far the most horrid. Larger a business gets the less competition it gets and the higher to customer prices get, which comes down to massive Anti-Trust law breaking.
Divided territories, Absorption of competitors, Refusal to deal, Business ethics, Tax evasion, Product sabotage, Tying, Limit pricing, Extortion, Theft, Fraud, Rent-seeking, Deregulation.
Capitalism works solely off Competition which with out is no longer capitalism. In Capitalism you capitalize on opportunities to get ahead of the competition. So where what happens when no competition remains ?
Many of you may be saying there are options and choices for nearly everything. Yes on the surface that is what it looks like. But this is because of mergers in which one company is bought by another but the loser's name does not get absolved, so you end up with a parent company and a child company that on the surface looks like two competing companies. This chain of events can happen multiple times to a point of one parent company having more then a dozen children companies. Out of this the parent can stay out of being labeled a ' Monopoly '.
Most large mergers and buy outs must get past a government ethics committee. Here's the problem, member's of that committee are receiving donations, stoke options, gifts and other incentives to vote in favor of the winner of the merger/buy out.
Larger a company gets it tries to make it's self larger and reduce it's competition. It does this buy setting the entry fee higher and refusing to deal some chains of product flow. This combo results in the cost of operation to any start up or low earner getting to high and forced to either merge, sell or close. Refusing to deal with chains of product flow also hurt the chains the big doesn't work with reducing competition for their friend.
Some companies set up their children companies in a way where they can get a win in profits no matter how a customer wants to deal with a product of service. A customer refuse's to deal with one and goes, the parent make's out in the end either way. The parent can set up a safety net in which if economy flops in one market they have a child that wont keeping them in a positive earnings flow.
Parent companies have been known to trade children companies to make bad economic out comes just vanish resulting in anything back owed just poof in smoke. Because when a company gets sold, it's assets are often liquidated, own contracts voided and any owned license's end early.
Another reason a company will get bought is the process has all intellectual property change hands. This is often patents that most of the time if they have not been published to the patent house yet will get gathered up and shelved, not for later use but to hide preventing advancement or change in tech that can result in a loss of current income levels.
Oligopoly being a small number of business's in which all profits are going to them. This is one step off of a monopoly.
