[2021] Corporation Balancing

I've had eco since 2017 and love the economic and social aspects it brings. I've played on The original Coast Redwood server before it became the official Anarchy server, Greenleaf server and White Tiger as well as many solo worlds and small group worlds with friends. One concept that has intrigued me is the formation of corporations and how it balances with the game. Groups of players form an organization and dominate the market causing monopolies on many of these servers due to the only physical differences being price due to the limitations of game simplification and interpretation. So it's no longer a Chevy silverado vs Ford F150 but rather F150 vs Raptor (USA market reference) What is the community's thoughts on this? Do you find it difficult as a solo player? Can't beat them join them? I am the corporate overlord? How could things like this be balanced in the future? What laws are in place or could be in place on servers to prevent monopolies and keep players interested as competitors once these corporations form?
