A large company can starve out smaller competitors by various means. It can undercharge temporarily for example, putting smaller companies out of business. It can also control the means of supply.
The network effect is huge too, as well as economies of scale. Large companies will tend to grow larger in a free market
Smaller companies get drowned out in most markets.
lowering prices isn't the only way to compete in the marketplace
It was an example.
of course larger companies are naturally hard to compete with
but it normally takes a long time to reach that status
every business begins small
small businesses can compete
and this has been shown
Sure but it happens. Eventually there will be a monopoly, and the monopoly will be able to dictate the parameters of the market if there isn't state intervention.
There doesn't even need to be just one company in monopoly. If there are a few then they essentially make decisions in tandem. They act as an unofficial cartel.
i don't disagree that eventually monopolies form out of a free market
this is why mixed economies exist
have regulations and laws that promote competition
So why were you trying to tell me about the free market if that's not what you were supporting?
when i say free market i usually mean it synonymously with mixed economy with minimal intervention
sorry it seemed like i was an anarcho capitalist
Sure. Anyway, I still don't see wealth as an absolute measure of how good a country is or how good someone's life is.
ah
well how good a country is is subjective
a country might be morally corrupt and have a lot of money
but certainly the living conditions are usually better in richer countries
Well I tend to use natural law as my measuring stick. How well does a society conform to the univeral truths of nature, as well as to the truth about the human condition etc. and to what extent is someone living their lives in accordance with how nature indended humans to live.
