Entrenched access to credit, and therefore existing capitalization, as the greatest criterion of success. This furthers capital consolidation and loss of competition. Suppressed wages by consolidating capital and policies supportive of monopolistic and oligopolistic distributions of market share across most sectors, thereby granting business more control over wages.
