When the largest revenue companies do about 10x in sales what they're doing now. Current US GDP is about $33T. Total domestic revenue of the top 10 US companies is about currently about $3.4T. There are around 36mil US companies. The bottom 90% bring in about $3.5T in total revenues. This roughly fits the expected pareto (power-law) distribution . So, a corporate oligopoly doesn't seem likely anytime soon.

But communism doesn’t work in smaller countries either. I don’t think you have to be as big as the US government to have enough money to engage in deals that obscure demand signals.
