That's all capitalism ever was.
Is it? I thought it was supposed to be better than that. There's supposed to be an air of competition, and if you fail, then good luck next time.
Not really, no. There's lots of talk about how that under capitalism there would be lots of competition. But the only real rule in capitalism is that no external body can tell you what to do with your capital. And when there are no rules limiting what the big boys can do, the best result ends up being a cartel. As best evidenced in the way the US economy worked in the "roaring" 20's, or what happened with mergers and acquisitions in the 90's and noughties.
Hence why, if you really want competition you want a strongly regulated economy.
