Exactly. All one needs to do is look at the behavior of the "Big Three" automakers, before the floodgates were opened to foreign competition. (A governmental action, BTW.)
Like so many other things, taken to extremes free market capitalism becomes it's own worst enemy. The strong crush the weak and the field narrows as wealth and power is concentrated.
The government becomes corrupt when the corrupt businessman has the means to buy favors.
Is that really so hard to figure out?
