Bigness is by no means new to Japanese industry. The merger trend began with the reconsolidation of some of the old zaibatsu - powerful family cartels that once controlled nearly all of Japanese business, and were broken up during the U.S. postwar occupation.

...related question is how much organized crime depends on at least one major market in which the returns to tight and complex organization are large enough to support a dominant monopoly firm or cartel. Not all businesses lend themselves to centralized organization; some do, and these may provide the nucleus of well-financed entrepreneurship and the extension of organizational talent into other businesses that would not, alone, support or give rise to an organized monopoly or cartel...
