This is not a new pattern, and definitely existed before bank consolidation. Rich, powerful families dictated for centuries who and what to fund and controlled the economy of their fiefdom.

You're right of course, but I think after the monarchies were overthrown, people thought that OKAY now we can have a more equal economy with lots of small independent producers competing with each other. Consolidation showed that this story is (at least now) completely untrue.
