I think you are conflating the power to organize resources toward meeting a market need with political corruption.

The latter is a problem, the former is not. They are not the same thing.

Involvenment in policy (re agriculture, environment, Africa, vaccine, etc), sponsoring "think tanks" and symposiums, controlling policy through "charity", etc. is not a "market need".
