In recent years, businesses—particularly insurance companies, banks, automakers, and defense contractors—have consolidated into bigger and bigger entities. Is this ethically beneficial to a burgeoning capitalistic society? The beauty of capitalism is that good products/services provided at desirable prices will capture a market.
