I mean, no? The whole point of capitalism is that successful actors can expand in order to further accumulate wealth. A core part of what makes a capitalist system useful is how you can go from having one factory to having ten factories, therefore aiding technological advancement of the supply chain; if you won’t allow this you might as well do something else.
Maybe that’s the scale where financial incentives top out? Beyond that, it’s individuals viewing the production of thousands as within their control by implication. Much like how the prisoner experiment shows it’s the mere organization of power that promotes shitty behavior, maybe we’re already far past what the vast majority of humanity should be entrusted with?
That’s basically a medium-sized factory though.
so you’re saying it sounds like a very sensible number?
