Where is all this Tumoil in the stocks leading (long run)

Hi all this my first post here but love the site!

Saw today on sky that Umbro is getting taken over by nike and it got me thinking

a lot of big "Corporations" have been merging, taking over each other Banks etc

With no end in sight to the current re balance of wealth (Death of the petro-Dollar) will we see a complete monopoly by some Corporations in some industry's? if so what would this really mean with not so much competition prices will rise, R&D would slow and so on any English readers might get this

"Tesco ever bit helps to take over the world"

or you yanks

"A Googleplex coming to a Street near you soon!"


Are we heading towards governments heavily in the hands This big big Corps?


Just some thoughts
