Monopoly power and wealth inequality are deeply intertwined.
Global food and energy companies more than doubled their profits in 2022, paying out $257 billion to wealthy shareholders.
Meanwhile, over 800 million people across the globe went to bed hungry.
Conservatives love to publicly love the market, like to raise up the living market in ceremonies to praise it, call forth the market to crush kindness and fairness in policies, and arrange for the market to cease to exist through monopolies and coercive market control.
monopoly power is the death of a market.
