Seems that way through enough experience and empirical evidence. I just wonder what could have happened if we enforced anti-trust law earlier on... they were meant to help prevent monopolistic companies from taking over everything. Maybe it was a lost hope, but I would've liked to see the system functioning as intended for once.
