“Too big to fail” has been mentioned often as a danger to a well working society.

But then again, as long as there is reasonably rapid evolution in society, I have no idea how one might curtail organizations from becoming too big.

At best it would become another game of Whac-a-mole[0] between regulators and organizations, with regulators more often on the losing side than not.

The market process and diseconomies of scale tend to constrain the size of firms, so much so that "bigness" is a strong indicator that a firm is instead being propped up by the political process, e.g., bailouts, regulatory capture.
