It's actually kind of amazing: as much as Americans fawn and drool over the magic of the 'open economic market,' we sure are prone to predatory oligopolies. The cable TV providers, major telephone and cellphone providers, and increasingly stores and restaurants (chains). We love the discounts that come from volume purchasing, and are willing to sacrifice the benefits of healthy competition in hopes of providing oligopolistic or monopolistic commercial endeavors to buy in bulk. How's it working out then? Not so good. Our cellphone service is years behind other countries; our banking is stale; our TV is a fucking nightmare of crap. I could go on, but that's enough.
