That’s one half. The other, more interesting half, recognizes that unscrambling the egg is difficult, so we must take more precautions before scrambling it in the first place.

I’ve been saying that an easy solution is just don’t allow companies with even modestly large overall sizes to merge or acquire other companies. At all. For any reason.

I think that despite this reform being a blunt instrument it would work surprisingly well.

It would allow companies that should have declined to decline and it would give massive incumbents a major incentive to innovate in-house.
