Both left and right theorists, especially theorists who aren’t themselves politicians, bureaucrats, or managers, would like to run against centralizations of power. Centralization is orthogonal to arguments of business vs. government, as both multinational business and superpower governments can represent maximized centralization.
I suppose the problem both run into is that one of the greatest concentrations of power in the world today is the United States of America as a whole—even if we achieved perfect distribution of power within our country, whether by ballot box or by marketplace, Then our 300 million people would still have a disproportionate share of the world’s human power.
