Not sure I follow... it was state action that preserved market competition by preventing any player in the market from getting too big. That went out the window in Reagan's administration based on a bunch of BS arguments about US industry being "uncompetitive." (to what?)
you would blame "statism" for that? the state essentially caving to an initiative pushed by big business?
I think that the State will self-perpetuate at whatever or whomever's immediate expense. Even when it seems self-deprecating. There are only 5 significant food suppliers in the U.S. It must be good for government for that to be the case.
