America has laws against monopolism but not hegemony. Go figure.

America, like any other country, has put foxes in control of its hen houses. Legislators make the laws needed to protect their interests and those of their clients that pull the strings in the background.

Agree with Sky on this one. Within the free market framework, preserving "antagonism" is more important then the unlimited growth of a specific market player. An analogy is the two term limit on the US presidency. No matter how great a president is, Democracy is considered a greater "good" to be protected by the "monopolizing" (??) of authority.
