If the government didn&#x27;t establish favorable regulations, they would be slowly whittled away by their smaller, nimbler competitors.<p>Economies of scale aren&#x27;t a simple slope. They&#x27;re a bell curve. After you get to a certain size, any additional growth is detrimental and you can only exist through artificial means.<p>Get rid of big government and you get rid of big corporations too!
