The size of business is a key way we can see how all business is just social too. All of society is. What many don’t realise is how many small businesses fail. And always have. 1/7 https://t.co/Eq8PQmz8Vp https://t.co/HH3Ubc8UcI

It’s a central myth of economy society, that small business is a great thing. Many push this myth because they affect to dislike big anything. Especially big government. But big business too. 2/7

And they hate it as a ‘duopoly’ too. Like the angst over supermarkets here. All sides of politics line up behind the idea that ‘competition’ between smaller organisations is the optimum model. 3/7

Except it’s all baloney. Scale is the key to all social progress. In business and everywhere else. It provides ‘economies of scale’. The larger something gets, the more efficient and cheaper it gets. 4/7

Government itself evolved because of this same basic fact. Government is vital because it provides economies of scale. To our lives in general. We invented it to *get away* from ‘competition’ between different social organisations, including businesses. 5/7

Socially, people ALWAYS produce scale in their interactions. They create hierarchies. Led by 5% of any group. This is why business always does the same. No matter how much we try to regulate it away. 6/7

They ‘control supply chains’, they ‘vertically integrate’, meaning they target economies of scale. Economy society is a fantasy. It’s just society. Following all the same social rules we use elsewhere. /end
