Market liberalism is not the answer. It's what we have today. It ends up with the giants eating the competition and using any advantage they have got. Only active legislation works against legal abuse against those that see it as sport.

    Legislation would help, but so would a vendetta against a big corporation. Can't really compete if your corporate is assimilated or not planning to eat away the profits from competition. :D

    Not claiming that is all it would take
