Maybe everything falls under that. It's taken as read that the goal is supposed to be explosive and/or exponential growth, global takeover and multi-billion valuations for everything from software frippery for getting a birthday video from the guy who voiced the cat in Sabrina the Teenage Witch to chat apps and taxi bookings to hardware like phones, cars and ICs, industries like farming and mining and even services like banks. Is a monoculture of a few warring behemoths really the outcome that is ideal in the long run? At the human scale, it feels a bit like being a bystander (byfloater?) in a kayak during a nuclear naval battle.
A bit like real ecology, an ecosystem is said to be thriving most when there's a diverse and dynamic mix, with nothing particularly dominating. Though of course the agricultural output of such an environment is lower than 10000 acres of monospecies wheat fields tended by 30-plus-ton tractors[1]. I wonder what a world would look like if it were disallowed for any company or ownership group to exceed a certain size. Economies of scale would maybe then be more acheivable though federation and cooperation rather than monopolism, lawfare and secrecy.
And before libertarians start shouting or hiding under the bed, it's more a shower thought, rather then my personal NWO agenda. And I'm aware it would require more than national-level edicts.
