Then take the biggest corporation, and break them in half. Rinse and repeat.
The more companies there are, the less efficient they are, and the more jobs are required to do the same thing. Also the top wages are smaller, limiting consolidation of wealth.
Entities that control massive amounts of wealth need to have much of that removed, since it is an imbalance in the system. So taxation on large entities, would break them up, or force race to the bottom as they moved over seas. So along with that would have to be either a global policy, or taxes on systems that are too big.
The arguments are easy, and not disputed, unless the goal is consolidation and control in the hands of a few.
A long range way to do such a thing is higher Estate Taxes, and regulations on monopoly control. Especially in areas of media. However in almost every sector things have been going the other direction giving more ability for companies to consolidate.
Why not have no corporation be allowed to have ownership of business that have conflict of interest, like advertising and media, or production or financial sector and media. Why not limit someone being able to sit on the board of directors of more then one company, if it creates a monopoly system.
And prosecute people that do price fixing in any of its forms within a sector.
Note that smaller corporations make price fixing much harder, since more people would have to get together to fix a price.
Basically its pretty easy, break the tenacles that connect the different sectors and multiple sectors in any one corporation.
Then since governments need is to regulate systems of money that are against societies purpose, as the corporations become smaller, government can then become smaller.
The simplest way, The largest corporation in any group or sector, pays X10 Taxes. Then there would be a profit motive to be smaller. However race to the bottom also has to be addressed. And the supporting of small buisness and local community buisness.
Its really easy to do, how to do it is not the question, it is do the people that write legislation want to do it.
