Capitalism is directly responsible for monopolies and meegers. It's the inevitable course. Anyone who disagrees is definitely did not take any classes on business. A goal of many MBA's is to be merged into a larger company for a massive payout. That is capitalism.

Capital is like gravity, it pulls more capital towards it into its a singularity of one massive lump of capital. We have to create laws to reign in capitalism.

The issue with capitalism is as we're experiencing now, there are no natural laws to keep capitalism is check.

In an ideal world, the only way a company would merge is after bankruptcy. There is literally no social benefit to justify it. The MBAs are more than willing to blow smoke up our collective asses about it.
