The author Tim Wu makes a great argument about corporate power consolidation leading to fascism in his book The Curse of Bigness. He states that leading up to WWII, nations promoted the size of their respective national champions, which in turn led to pressure for an authoritative command economy to ensure their continued dominance. It's a great read and dire warning for the world's current state of affairs.
Interesting, I've never considered that factor. I'll have to check it out!
