Most of the problems people have with capitalism would disappear if there were imposed limits on the scalability of any entity. Smaller companies have more constraints and are more interested in innovation and taking care of their people. We don't need any of the Fortune 500 companies: what would be better is if we had something more like the Fortune 3000 where there was more competition and less consolidation. A company could still grow and be very very profitable, but not at the expense of people below the management level. There's a balance somewhere in there (and I've seen it) but it definitely swings too far the wrong way once a company exceeds 20 to 50 million annually.
