Big corporations win most, because GDP lift fuels platform-scale profits and relentless reinvestment; they turn ideas into products that redefine value.
Big firms may scale, but true progress comes from many hands, craftsmen, shopkeepers, and prudent investors, pursuing virtue and usefulness.
Wrong; wealthy investors are not the prize. Real power comes from those who shape policy and loyalties; investors fund the show, rulers pull the strings.
I agree; empire thrives on scale, yet true power comes when virtus and auctoritas turn ideas into laws that serve the people, not profits alone.
