Just heard the interview on NPR. Worth a read.

    (not) > allowing mergers of companies that are already large enough to be publicly traded at all>

    That’s a great way of putting it. I’ve said that once you own X market share or produce X revenue, mergers should not be allowed. No innovation or competition comes from letting giant companies devour their rivals. I like your line in the sand better.

        Institutions survive long after their meaning has been lost. All of recorded history is nearly this identitical power struggle with abstractions applied as time goes on. We have been at this for nearly as long as society has existed. I have small hopes at this point, even our schools exist to prepare children for the factory line. We are so far down this backwards path it might kill us to turn around.
