Most regulation just ends up defeating market competition because of regulatory capture effects or because of who writes and lobbies for and against regulations, and most monopolistic behavior ends up being sanctioned by the state more often than struck down as a result. Under optimal conditions, it seems like it would be better to simply make it easier to be a corporate raider and break up or merge companies more naturally than to deploy regulatory power and presume to have the same effect.

Should they be? Well the laws aren't working, and they are making it harder for start ups. At what point do the laws meant to keep big businesses in check become laws meant to protect big businesses from competition?
